Dear Consumer America
Can you sell me a product that does not always make my life more convenient or easy?
Can you sell me a product that will make me sweat, will blister my hands, will force some effort on my part?

because their faces are glued to their cell phones.
My dad spends several hours a day watching television. He spends several hours a day channel surfing. I don’t think he does it more then the average senior citizen. The average senior citizen might spend 3-5 hours a day watching television.
I grew up loathing television, especially if it involved channel surfing. I spend a couple hours a...

Anonymous asked: My boyfriend of three years told me today that he was sexually abused as a child and has been addicted to porn since. How do I help him?

Would be better off if we weren't together?
