lauren {elycerose} on Flickr just pointed out that aluminum foil boxes have push in tabs for holding the roll in place. This is the most amazing thing I have learned all week and I can’t believe I never noticed it before. My life is now slightly easier.
If you can think of it, there is probably a Flickr group about it. I loved looking at this Flickr set of people jumping off swings. Jumping off of a swing is one of the most exhilarating feelings in the world. It was my favorite thing to do in a park. The build up as [...]

There’s a video on that page that explains it in [...]
Yes, it’s a awesome as it sounds. Wait for Cyndi Lauper, it’s the climax of the video. via and I am not lying
‘We didn’t know how to say goodbye. We walked from his house to mine and back again, just to be together a little while longer. Boys of twelve don’t promise to write to each other. We made jokes, because we didn’t know what else to do.’ This is the first known image of Peter, the [...]
Impressive timing and the climax at the end is awesome. awesome.
