Does Your Boss Suck? Five Signs That He/She Does

Crayola Is Killing The Dandelion Colored Crayon — I Thought It Was Going To Be Apricot
It has been revealed. The crayon color that Crayola is taking out is Dandelion. I thought it was going to be the Apricot. Taking out Dandelion makes complete sense, though. It is very close to yellow. Apricot and Dandelion are the two colors that I really didn't use as a kid.
Yakima Valley Libraries Open New Author Series — What Great News!

Penny For Your Thoughts: Government Might Get Rid Of Pennies — But Should They?
It always cracks me up that in the midst of all the turmoil and problems our great nation faces, there is always something completely stupid that a politician does.

Crayolas are in everyone's lives. I still use those crayons to this very day, even though I am getting older. I have also used every single color in the 24-count box that Crayola offers.

Clam Guns Are The Most Common Online Purchases In Washington — Hilarious!
It is rare that I purchase anything online. I am always worried someone will get my information. I know a lot of people in Washington who do, though, and they never seem to have any problems. I guess I am just paranoid!
