Once again, #11 is a ramp specifically for getting groceries up from street level to kitchen level and getting garbage cans down and back up from street level. It's in a town called Ketchikan, many streets are stairs and it is a necessity - so GOOD DESIGN.
Remember that kids sink, and while the water on the Oregon coast is cold that does not prevent kids from a) being attracted to it or b) sneaker waves from not getting your kids. I figured out it is easier with multiple kids to just insist they wear floatation devices when at the…Â

Wow, straight out the 1980s! Every bro in my junior high had that haircut, but it needs to be topped with a baseball cap and he needs to wear that Baja surfer pullover and Nikes when they were new. So Buzzfeed, you may go "eesh" but it is very familiar.
If they eat one type of food they probably have a food allergy...
Get a clue folks, you don't learn a lot from one small observation - actions accumulated tell you about people.
I don't resent my mom at all - I resent the lies I was told as a child about "getting good grades" "going to college" and you'll have a job that would pay for you, children and a nest egg for your retirement. I resent that my husband is underpaid for his marvelous work output, that…Â
