I side-eye people that allow their kids to sleep in the bed with them every night until they are like 4 years old and beyond. I have a friend that does it. It drives me nuts. Put the kid in a big boy bed for chrissake.

I love Victoria's Secret bras. I bought two this weekend bc I had two $10 off cards. Honestly, they fit so amazing I'm even in a better mood. But finding my size is usually a beyotch, unless I want my bras simular to my G-mas. I've never bought any of their clothes and don't intend to, they just seem overpriced for what they are.
I'd say this is more popular than unpopular, but I would donate to a fund that would be presented to whichever NFL player can give Micheal Vick a career ending injury. Seriously, I think PETA should sponsor taking out a hit on him.
