This is crazy.  And possibly convincing me to never go sky diving.  (aside from the plummeting to earth part). A man jumped out of a plane and got caught on his way down. His friends in the plane had to cut him loose.   But the entire time, he had to …

Five points to the pilot on this one.  Even though this footage is going to look scary, it looks like the pilot did the right thing in this situation. A pilot was landing a 737 in Prague when some crosswind struck.  The airplane hit down hard and the pilot pulled …

Xbox is currently offering a month of Xbox Live Gold for free–even if you already have an account.  All you need to do is log into the link on this Slickdeals page,  and it will be the top option.  This is a great deal to take advantage of if you have …

I’m a big fan of UberX and use it pretty frequently.  It’s a ride sharing program that lets you connect with drivers in minutes.  UberPool is Uber for extroverts.  It’s when you share your ride sharing.  That is,  multiple people take rides at the same time.  The Uber software has …

God bless America. Now, in addition to Reeses Peanut Butter Cups and Reeses Pieces, you can get Reeses Peanut Butter Cups stuffed with Reeses Pieces. I was in a store the other day and came across this beautiful sight. Be still my heart. Being the good investigative reporter I am*, …

Julep Box is one of those subscription services I did for a few months, and then I was good.  I loved the products I got from them, but you can only get so much makeup. During the holidays, they usually have amazing deals (clearance and then a % off the clearance), …

Here’s a great deal,  but you have to pack light.  Fly from LA to Sweden for only $304.  The only catch is that it’s on low cost carrier, Norwegian.  As always,  the Flight  Deal has the scoop.  Fare Availability: Valid for travel from November – February, 2017. Availability is limited. …

  I can’t wait for the next DC-area meetup!  It’s at one of my favorite restaurants, and I look forward to seeing you all there. Don’t forget to register for this one ahead of time because there’s limited space (but not so limited space that we don’t have room to …
