I have yet to figure out what makes women so much better at making sandwiches than men. It might sound funny, but it’s very true. I’ve been to a number of Subway Sandwich Shops across a number of states, and every time without fail, if a male makes the sandwich, eating it is dreadful. They

Today is finally our turn to vote in the primaries here in Ohio. And of the candidates who are left, I only really like one! A lot of people in this neck of the woods find it unfair that we don’t get much of a say earlier in the campaign, when all the candidates are
