As smartphone technology began to evolve and seemingly make every daily task possible to manage and/or complete from the palm of your hand, I was hooked. Now, as it continues to invade our lives I'm gradually -- maybe not gradually, so much as abruptly -- stepping back.
It's no secret that we work for a Canadian. He's not super patriotic but I definitely know more about our neighbors to the north than I ever had -- and that includes the interesting foods they eat.
If it's not hair or dimples, Buff Boys are obsessed with fitness. (Go figure, right?) When we were offered a Etekcity HR Smart Fitness Scale it was a no brainer.
Today would be the legend's 104th birthday... and we're still celebrating!
My co-worker has the most obnoxious-smelling lunches and always eats at her desk. Most of us are annoyed by it. How do we get her to eat somewhere that's better ventilated so we don't have to gag every day?
Dancing Towards Diabetes: My Quest for a Glamorous Disease
At first I thought Adventure Science Center in Nashville would be for kids. Maybe it is to a certain extent but adults can have a fun time, too. Turn me loose in anything I can light up or make loud and I'm all in.
I'm starting to feel like I've stumbled into a parallel universe where the language is vaguely familiar, but the meaning is completely and utterly lost on me.
As someone who’s been a stickler for oral hygiene since I had braces in my 20s -- which was also the first time I experienced an electric toothbrush -- I’m constantly on the lookout for ways to elevate my brushing game.
Don't be so quick to judge a recipe by its title! Read the whole recipe and then decide... after you put the food in your mouth!
There are a few things on social media that make me laugh: people announcing "a break" (even though you know damn well they're still creeping, they're just not posting), relationship drama, vacation photos with people clutching their phone on the beach (because they can't enjoy nature for what it is) and meet-and-greet concert pics (explanation below).
I'm one of the growing office workers who can't stand being copied on emails that don't pertain to me. It's fine if it's an FYI to something that might affect my work at some point. But there are people in the office who copy so many people on messages to make them aware -- but then also don't explain why we're being added, so it's always unclear if something is expected of us or what the real reason is. I'm tempted to write back something like "Why am I getting this?" but it might come across dickish. Do I just ignore them or say something to prevent more clogging of my inbox?
Montreal is usually known for its food. At least, that was my take when researching the Canadian city. The French thing, as a Californian, scared me a little bit because I thought I would feel like I would be lost in a foreign country. I guess, in a sense, I was.
Ah, Gabe. A man of formidable physical prowess, a true titan of the tarmac, a marathon runner whose strides could put gazelles to shame. In the hallowed halls of Buff Loft, he’s known for his steely determination, his calm demeanor and his uncanny ability to make a 10K look like a leisurely stroll to the fridge.
I've noticed something lately, a creeping phenomenon that's making me question the very fabric of our appreciation rituals. (I'm not even talking about tipping because that's another issue.)
Looking for the perfect dessert to impress your guests or simply elevate your weeknight treat? I got you! My brownie mocha trifle is a layered masterpiece that combines the rich, fudgy goodness of brownies with the invigorating aroma and flavor of coffee, all tied together with a luscious creamy filling. And to take this trifle to the next level, we're incorporating a key ingredient: our famous Buff Boy Loca Mocha coffee. Duh!
There are so many people I call or text and wish happy birthday to (one is my cousin) and I don't hear back. I don't just post something on their Facebook page when it reminds me it's their birthday. I actually know when it is and I reach out. I've drifted apart from some of the people but there hasn't been anything bad that's happened between us to consider it a troubled relationship. We just don't talk as often as we did. Do I stop calling and sending texts? It seems like they're unappreciative. It's one thing to respond to every comment on a Facebook page but to get a personal call or text I feel is a bit more special. I actually call and leave my cousin voice mail. I don't hear back from her. Surely these people have time to respond with "thanks!" Thoughts?
When you're a kid, you love looking at the monthly school calendar and seeing the upcoming field trips, the early dismissals and the days off. As a parent, you might enjoy seeing some of those things.
OK, this one came out of a desperate situation.
In a world where consumers are constantly bombarded with new fees – from banking to data overage on a cellphone plan – the last thing I want to do is pay to be a customer. Remember when it used to be good enough just to spend your hard-earned money with a company? That’s not sufficient nowadays.
Ready to pork? Eat some meat! This pulled pork barbecue recipe is a low-and-slow cook. It's mostly hands off in a slow cooker so you can enjoy the smell as it makes you hungrier and hungrier. I recommend this one with some barbecue sauce and a bottle of beer!
A penis shoe. Yes, that's what I discovered in Quebec City... in a museum, no less. (Keep scrolling for the dude with shell titties.)
Last week, we celebrated our fourth BuffDay -- it was July 2, 2021, that Buff Boy Brewing Co. launched.
We’re constantly told that higher education is the key to a better future, a thriving society and personal fulfillment. Essentially, it's painted as a public good that benefits everyone. So, why in the world does it cost more than a down payment on a house these days?
