I take one of these to work with me every day.

Keeps water surprisingly cold and is durable as hell. The bottle is actually stainless steel. I wash it with dishes every few days but have never had to use a brush on the bottle or lid and it stays nasty free.
 
This news article is so messed up! Not only due to the nature of the crime, but also the manner in which it was written (unnecessary puns, etc.). Not going to lie, I did laugh at a few portions, but felt bad afterwards:

I'll highlight the ridiculousness:

Police: Man shoots, kills brother in beef over cheeseburger

A Florida man was behind bars after police say he shot and killed his brother in a beef over a cheeseburger.
Benjamin Angus Middendorf, 25, was charged with first-degree murder in the death of his older brother Thursday.
Nicholas Middendorf, 28, was killed after being shot once in the chest, Fox 35 Orlando reported.
“We were in a fight and I grabbed a gun and I shot him. Oh my God!†Benjamin Middendorf says in a 911 call released by the St. Cloud Police Department.

“My son shot my son,†his mother says to the dispatcher during the 911 call.

“Where is your son who shot your other son?†the dispatcher asks the woman.

She replies, “Right here holding my son,†and then is overheard saying, “I hope you go to jail.â€

Police responded to the 911 call around 10:30 p.m. Thursday, Fox 35 reported.

“I can tell you that there was some sort of argument -- sadly over a cheeseburger, whether he wanted one or not," police spokesperson Sgt. Denise Roberts told the station.
“He admits that he does own a 9-mm. gun and he obviously puts himself on scene," Roberts said. "He picked up the phone. They called 911, cooperated fully. But as far as a full confession, no. At this point he said he didn't recall."
An arrest affidavit says Benjamin Middendorf, his brother and their mother had been drinking with friends, celebrating Cinco de Mayo, MyNews13 in Orlando reported.

Benjamin Middendorf told detectives he was not drinking, the station reported.
He was denied bail during a court appearance Saturday.
 
Is it just me, or does it seem like the writer was trying to be funny? Or maybe just highlighting the ridiculous coincidences (son's middle name being Angus or the mom/dispatcher exchange sounding like the "who's on first?" bit)?

Had to let my little buddy go tonight. I said I'd never do that, but then again they say your animal knows when it's time. He was tired. I'll always be thankful for him, he made us love ferrets. He was the best little dude I oils have asked for. I'll never forget him.

I love you Peanut.


Sorry, it's just hard and I don't have a lot of people to talk to.

Sorry, bags. Much as we give each other ****, when it really counts, most of the time we're here for each other.
 
Ordered something, chose Fedex 2-day(Express), was shipped Ground/Home Delivery. I paid for Express because I've never had a problem with that, had multiple problems with Ground. ********.
 
Season is not living up to past seasons so far. :sad: Seems "tired" to me. Maybe my expectations from waiting a million months for new episodes were unrealistic?

This season of my "must watch" stuff has been disappointing.

Archer - not LOL like previous seasons
Vikings - until the finale, which was terrific, the season was kinda lame.
Walking Dead - almost dead to me
Americans - not even bothering to start this season


Im regretting keeping up with the Americans this year. Fell off a lot.
