This is the first thing I’m getting when I get real insurance coverage. The more I hear about it, the more I love it. Now I just need someone to cover that $800 up front and $345 a month.
I’m Sorry, This Still Bafflies Me
Titanic is still the highest-grossing movie of all time. It’s made nearly 2 billion dollar worldwide. If you look at the other movies in the top 10, they’re all part of series: LOTR, Spiderman, Pirates, Harry Potter, hell, they even made a bunch more Jurassic Park movies.

How Far Could You Walk in a Day with a Treadmill at Your Desk?

Marie Antoinette
