Boom Chicka Bow Wowwww...

So,  I was just walking the dogs in the forest minding my own business when I saw these two kids gettin’ it on in a tree stump. I mean seriously, get a room! Right?

Bee Healthy

As a person diagnosed with and treating Lyme disease, a disease with no known cure and life-debilitating symptoms, I find myself coming across "sure-cures" every day.

Goatees: Badass or Adorable? Discuss.

Really, Size Doesn't Matter

I think I'm in love. I had to step in about 37,000 donkey apples to get this shot. But look at those ears! Sigh.
