“Nah,” he says, “That’s not going to happen.” Tommy is a male escort. He’s been in the industry for about six years. Tommy used to have his own company, but that went under when the Great Recession hit. Knowing he had a child to support, a friend ended up offering him a job. That friend happened to be Garren James, founder of the Nevada-based Cowboys4Angels, a male escort agency that caters exclusively to female clients....
Despite the fact that its name sounds like a thoughtlessly titled character in an old British children’s book, the Eufy RoboVac 11 is packed with tech. It’s designed for both hardwood and thin carpet (no shag, please), boasts a slim 3.1-inch profile that easily glides under furniture, and gets 1.5-hours of cleaning on a single charge. The Lithium-Ion battery also self-juices when the tank gets low. The Eufy has a three-point cleaning system (one rolling brush, two side brushes) and three cleaning modes ⏤ Edge, Spot, and Max for hard to clean spots....
Scout has a plastic exterior with a saddle, mane, tail and four rubber-covered wheels where a real horse’s hooves would be. It weighs 48 pounds and its three-plus foot long frame can support a rider weighing up to 70 pounds, specs well-suited to the three to seven year olds it’s recommended for. It has more than 100 different sound and movement combinations that kids experience in six different play modes: walk, brush, feed, pet, ride, and dance....
The Kids in the Hall has been brought back from the grave. Close to 30 years after the original series went off the air, it’s been announced that the Canadian comedy sketch show is coming back. But instead of a group of fresh new kids, all the originals are set to return. Several special guests are slated to appear in the upcoming season, including Jay Baruchel, Will Forte, Catherine O-Hara, Kenan Thompson, and Pete Davidson....
Prior to the 1960s, the Supreme Court stayed fairly clear of family life — affecting Americans through the rejection or acceptance of policies rather than through more or less direct decision making. That changed in 1967, the year of Loving vs. Virginia. The Lovings, an interracial couple who’d been prosecuted under Virginia’s bracingly racist 1924 Racial Integrity Act of 1924, challenged the right of their state to pass anti-miscegenation laws....
If someone suspects a relationship to be abusive, the Power and Control Wheel can help. Created in the early ‘80s by a group of battered women in Duluth, Minnesota, with the help of the Domestic Abuse Intervention program, the Power and Control Wheel helps mistreated spouses better understand the patterns of abuse they may be enduring. As part of the “Duluth Model” of combating domestic violence, it is used to identify behaviors that are intended to control and dominate a person in a relationship....
News of the high-profile split quickly spawned hundreds of memes poking fun at what single Bill Gates might be like and speculating about what the divorce will mean for the stock market as well as the tech and philanthropic worlds. More than a few journalists fixated on the easy irony of billionaires falling prey to ordinary forces — as if billions could be deployed to fix all the things that can become mysteriously broken between people....
Over the last decade workplace ergonomics have evolved significantly to the point of the treadmill desk. First it was the yoga balls, next the standing desks and the wobble boards. And, to be clear, all are worthy additions to the office space canon, providing a certain relief to the decay that sitting behind a desk brings. But these are modifications more than paradigm shifts. Walking at work has been and will always be the final frontier....
Recently The Wiggles were guests on Triple J’s Like a Version cover series, a radio show in Australia. The cover series has a musician or band join the radio station to play one of their own songs and a cover song that they love. The Wiggles – including Emma, Anthony, Simon, Lachy, Murray, and Jeff – chose play “Elephant” by Tame Impala, and they did a good job. According to Pitchfork, Tame Impala’s Kevin Parker surprised everyone by joining The Wiggles on stage during one of their live shows in Perth, Australia....
A Garbage-Picked Lamp “My husband got me a really beautiful lamp one year. It had a vintage look to it, was colorful – which I love – and seemed like a really thoughtful gift. Yeah…he garbage picked it. I’m not snobby when it comes to spending money on gifts, but I kind of draw the line at garbage. It seemed like he just drove by a pile in someone’s driveway and thought, ‘This’ll do....
Before recently, a couple of years ago, really, I used to exercise first thing in the morning. I would wake up, have breakfast, have a run, or take the kids to school and go to the gym. But then, my little one started sleeping on a regular schedule, and I realized I could run at night. Now, we eat around 6:30, give the kids baths and prepare for the next morning and finish that around 7:30 to 8....
“When we talk about age-related hearing loss it really is compounded by exposure to noise over the course of one’s life,” explains Ian Windmill, Ph.D., Clinical Director of the Division of Audiology at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital. “The earlier you start protecting your hearing, the better off your hearing is in the long term.” Windmill notes that long-term damage isn’t the only concern. As more very young children spend more time listening to music or shows through headphones, volume increases along with the prospect of short-term hearing damage....
But I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t slightly offended at first. READ MORE: The Fatherly Guide to Step-Parenting He was talking about my 5-year-old son and 8-year-old daughter from a previous marriage. Sitting there in a quiet, swanky restaurant, I glared at him and wondered if I should leave. But when he saw my face and said, “Before you get upset, please let me explain.” Thankfully, I listened....
The TP Blaster, as it is also known, is a toy gun that shoots damp pieces of toiler paper. It replaces the relatively slow, laborious and disgusting process of making spitballs, loading them into a straw and firing them at their friends and enemies. Instead, kids simply load a roll of toilet paper onto the feeding mechanism and fill the water reservoir. Then, they pull back on the loading mechanism, pump the handle twice and pull the trigger to fire....
Solid-construction boards are great, but storage and transport will always be a challenge. That’s why inflatables, like this one, are perfect: Despite its 11-foot length, the board by Fitwave packs down into an included backpack so you can throw it in your car or over your shoulder and go. Once you arrive at your beach or launch, use the included two-way pump to quickly inflate it and shove off. It will comfortably hold up to 350 pounds....
In any case, now’s a great time to get reacquainted with a great men’s suit. The question to ask: What should you look for in a fall or winter suit? Our advice: Have some fun with it, but think modern and sharp above all else. Consider colder weather fabrics like houndstooth if you want to go all-out, but when in doubt, seasonal blends like wool, especially in crisp, versatile colors like navy, are going to give you the most bang for your buck....
The study should not be seen as a confirmation that babies and toddlers have a major driving role in the COVID-19 pandemic, but rather that very young children can be a significant vector of the virus if they do get infected — an increasing reality as schools, daycares, and pre-kindergarten classrooms open up across the country in the coming weeks. The study was conducted by looking at nearly 6,300 Canadian households....
