Would volunteering be a conflict? by
beeswing
x-no-archive: yes
There's a private school locally that I wouldn't mind supporting, and they've
listed that they need volunteers, including committee members for a committee

Does Carbonation really damage teeth? by
Robyn Kozierok

carbonated drinks because carbonation is "pure evil" because the

white baby shoes by
Michael Hamm
Perhaps a bit OT, but we just bought our 1-year-old new shoes, and my wife
insisted on white (over my objections that they'd get much dirtier than
black). They're already(!) getting dirty. Is there a good way of really
