An Energy Drink Fit For Fighters, Workaholics

Send to KindleTweet It’s entirely unlike me to promote an energy drink with more unpronounceable ingredients than I care to mention, but desperate times led me to the official drink of UFC.

Patricia Field for Kotex?

Send to KindleTweet Patricia Field for Kotex. Doesn’t really have a ring to it.

A New Stroller or Your Mortgage?
