You’re pretty lucky. I just lost a friend from my class on Wednesday and her funeral was today. It was one of the hardest things I’ll ever have to go through.
I’m sorry for your loss. :\

simplendelicious:
This is actually my husband’s perfect breakfast sandwhich. I cannot claim it as my own. He loves making these up before he goes into work in the morning. The next time he makes it, we’ll take a picture.

buzzlightyearsu asked: Cool beans!
It is a tough topic. I'm still open to both options, voluntary and mandatory military service, since I don't know much about either. I'm glad to have heard your view on it.
True, ideally, the military service would shape every person into a committed citizen and great leader, but everyone is different, so the experience would have a...

Green Solution: Solar Wind Power (SWP) Harvesting
This is just something I stumbled upon a couple of weeks back and felt like sharing.
Here are some cuts of info from some articles:
The solar wind is a stream of charged particles that heads outward from the sun’s upper atmosphere. They move outward toward Earth and the rest of the planets, and provide the potential to power to the entire Earth, according to some researchers. And, even...
bullymommy2012 asked: What is your favorite part of being a Marine? :)
buzzlightyearsu asked: Dear Ryan,
I do not know if you have talked about this before, but do you believe military service should be mandatory in the United States? If so, then how long should the service be?
Sincerely,
Andy

– From library.med.utah.edu (via thenoobyorker)
When people say “guns don’t kill people, people kill people!” I get all frustrated. Why? Because while this may be true, guns certainly make it easier for people to kill each other. Sometimes I am told that cars also kill people. This is true as well,...
