License Plate

Dear NFL Network: SHOW THE FREAKIN GAME!!!!

Fantasy Football shenanigans
So I am in a fantasy football league. This league is with several people that I was on my mission with and is run by my ex-mission president (who runs 3 or 4 such leagues with different ex-missionaries). We have been playing since 2000 and it’s a lot of fun. We play in Yahoo –…

I love when grocery stores pay me!
So there was a deal at Kroger this past week or so (actually I think it has been going on for the past 4 weeks but I just found out about it – it ends today). Buy 6 Powerade Zero 32oz and get a coupon for $4 off your next order. Since the Powerades are…
