Here, he’s back again. Our old friend-Salmonella. He’s that guy who suddenly calls you in the middle of the night and says “Hey, uh, got three hundred dollars I can borrow? You know I’m good for it.” This is, of course, untrue.

We all have different names from our breasts, some of us call them our “boobs,” our “tits,” or  as Marisa C.

Last week, my family and I took a trip to Canada’s Niagara’s Falls, and I can honestly say that when I returned to the States that I was completely satisfied with my experience. The Falls were as beautiful and as frighteningly powerful as I could’ve ever dreamed them to be and the attractions that allowed us to journey close to the falls were amazing.
