Yeah, I was going to be angry tonight but decided to be happy and grateful instead.
Brilliant. This should be shown to every marketing division.

need to do this!
The next time you have green onions, don’t throw away the white ends. Simply submerge them in a glass of water and place them in a sunny window. Your onions will begin to grow almost immediately and can be harvested almost indefinitely. We just use kitchen scissors to cut what we need for meals. I periodically empty out the water, rinse the roots off and give them fresh water.
STOP TALKING ABOUT THE TWILIGHT MOVIES. YOU’RE A GROWN WOMAN. IF A MAN MADE HALF AS MANY REFERENCES TO BANGING A BARELY LEGAL GIRL AS YOU DO ABOUT TAYLOR LAUTNER CHRIS HANSEN WOULD BE HIDING AROUND THE CORNER FROM HIS HOUSE IN A STAKEOUT VAN.
YOU WANT TO WATCH GLEE EVERY WEEK? FINE. WE’LL WATCH GLEE. SADLY, THAT SHOW CONTAINS BETTER ACTING THAN THOSE GODDAMNED SPARKLY VAMPIRE MOVIES. BUT THIS IS THE LAST DISCUSSION WE WILL EVER HAVE ABOUT ‘TEAM JACOB’ IN THIS HOUSE. HOW ABOUT YOU JOIN ‘TEAM WORRYING ABOUT YOUR MORTGAGE’ OR ‘TEAM HOW ARE MY KIDS GOING TO GO TO COLLEGE’? I WANT AN EDUCATION SO I CAN HAVE BETTER TASTE THAN YOU, MOM.

For anyone interested in old books and medicine, the Wellcome Library in London has (excitingly) digitized a huge chunk of their extensive library of antique domestic “recipe” books and manuscripts. Spanning three hundred years (their collection begins in the 1500s), the 270+ books are an amazing window into old medicine and household lore. Above are images from two randomly selected manuscripts, both from the mid-1600s. Look closely, and you might get some pointers on how to prevent bed wetting, or help should you suffer from a “pinne or a webbe in the eye.”
To jump straight to a list of all the available manuscripts, go here.

Don’t forget to remind people that this a Bob Dylan song, and not an Adele song.
Make You Feel My Love
When the rain is blowing in your face
And the whole world is on your case
I could offer you a warm embrace
To make you feel my loveWhen the evening shadows and the stars appear
And there is no one there to dry your tears
I could hold you for a million years
To make you…

We love this one.
