Sure, there are moments when she becomes completely crazy, but that’s half of the fun when you’re interacting with and living the life of a slut. Read more …

When it comes to cleaning, most people know to hit the common areas: toilets, sinks, floors, etc. But just because something appears spotless doesn’t mean it’s not a breeding ground for bacteria and other germs. While most bacteria are harmless, germs and dusts particles can make us more susceptible to colds and allergies. To minimize bacteria spread, we’ve rounded up 11 surprising places people often forget to clean but should. Many of these germ-ridden places get infected through constant touch, so don’t forget to wash your hands as much as possible!

Now, think about how many sales people handle those cards, what their hands have come in contact throughout the day, and what’s lurking in the crevices of card-swipe machines. Yes, with every transaction, your cards can be as dirty as ever-circulating cash dollars.

When it comes to men, I have a type. Physically, he’s tall and lean. He’s also the soft-spoken intellectual and creative type. And more often than not, he’s emotionally unavailable and self-absorbed. And yet, I date him over and over again, like a broken record stuck on one false note.

And even if it’s a question of $5, it’s $5 more than we’d like to lose on a purchase.
