    Have you drank till you blacked out?

    I am almost embarassed to say this, "I can't believe anyone has not blacked out!" Drank a shit ton when I was younger. I was never proud of it and it's happened less than 5 times. At least I was never stupid enough to get behind the wheel.

    Let's talk dress shoes.

    Jesus, just bought my first pair of Allen Edmonds. Paid out the ass. Was made easier with some Christmas money, but still. Have to say, the best looking shoes in my closet by FAR. I am pretty excited about them.

    Anybody use an interior designer?

    we have done it two ways. First was a high end designer, she planned the whole room and we bought what we could a bit at a time. Very pricey. Second guy worked with us, charged by the hour and 25% above wholesale on gallery furniture etc. Second option was a lot less pricey and easier to...

    The ethics of placebo medicine and Alternative health care
