2012 “End-of-Year Questions” Meme: Hawaiian Paradise, Kindergarten Kid, and “It’s (Going To Be) A Girl”

1. What did you do this year that you’d never done before? Saw a photo of the brain of someone I know!

It’s A Girl!

A pretty awesome Christmas gift! Shea and I got to find out the sex of our baby at the same time our parents did earlier tonight. During our last ultrasound, we got the tech to put the sex of the baby in a sealed envelope then handed that to a trusted friend along with a […]

This time, it was putting forward the idea for a Reddit AMA which was the first ever by a Saskatchewan politician. Of […]

How To Eat Corn on the Cob in 10 Seconds

This had me laughing and laughing for some reason when I first saw it… I mean, with stuff like that, I always wonder “what is the thought process that leads someone to try something like this for the first time?” (h/t CP)
