Well, dear House Hunters, I got an offer on my house today. But don’t give up hope yet — we’re making a counter offer so you still might have a chance.
Look how much space you have in the basement! Plenty of space for you and your car to escape all the crazy hail we’ve been having in Nashville so far this year.
Dear House Hunters, for March 20,
This could be your morning springtime view: the blossoming cherry trees outside the bedroom window.
Sincerely,
Me.
P.S. Check the house out here.
Dear House Hunters,
This house has the perfect deck out back for spring, summer and fall parties!
I think I’ll go out there myself this afternoon and hang out.
Sincerely,
Me
Dear House Hunters,
I love springtime at my house. The temperature outside starts rising and I can open the windows for some fresh air.
The breeze blows through the house and keeps it at a wonderfully comfortable temperature. No need for heat or A/C at this time of year. Save energy, save money! Both the planet and your wallet win!
Sincerely,
Me
P.S. My house is listed here.
Dear House Hunters,
If bees make you jumpy, beware the cherry trees in my yard. The trees are starting to bloom and the bees are out doing their pollinating thing.
Sincerely,
Me
P.S. Check the house out here.
I usually only eat one-half of an avocado in one sitting. But then I would have another half of an avocado that would turn brown before I could use it the next day.
So I googled it.
And discovered that you can place your leftover avocado in a container with a couple pieces of onion to keep the avocado fresh.
It works!
Something about the sulfuric acid in the onion keeps the avocado fresh.
This discovery makes life a lot tastier.
Ira Glass: What does that mean, unpack the complexities?
Mike Daisey: Well it means, it means that, you know, just, like the hexane thing. I mean I think I’m agreeing with you.
Ira Glass: I mean with the hexane, we approached you and asked you specifically
about that. There’s an email that, that Brian sent you, about the hexane. He
wrote, “Apple’s 2011 report” – this is the responsibility report – “acknowledges
the hexane problem at two plants, one at Wintek and another at a logo supplier but not at Foxconn. These workers you were talking to, in the monologue, were they from Foxconn do you remember or from other plants?” And, and at that point you could have come back to us and said ‘oh no no no I didn’t meet these workers, you know, this is just something I inserted in the monologue based on things I had read and things I had heard in Hong Kong’ um, but instead you lied further and you said, you wrote, “The workers were from Wintek and not Foxconn.” Why not just tell us what really happened at that point?
[long pause]
Mike Daisey: I think I was terrified. [breathing]
Ira Glass: Of what?
[long pause]
Mike Daisey: – That—-
[long pause]
Mike Daisey: I think I was terrified that if I untied these things, that the work,
that I know is really good, and tells a story, that does these really great things for making people care,
I would like to play a game with a pig.

Grandma brought chocolates with her to Chicago — those heart-shaped Dove chocolates for Valentine’s Day.
My 13 and 12-year-old nephews discovered the little sayings written on the inside of the wrappers.
The 13-year-old was told to “be mysterious” and “hold hands firmly and hearts softly.”
The 12-year-old was told to “always remember your first crush” and “savor the small romantic moments.”
Boy, were they blushing.
I’m kind of addicted to these time lapse videos.
