It makes me feel sick to my stomach …. When I shared a picture of my tattoo on my Twitter page and said, ‘ALL LOVE is equal,’ a lot of people mocked me – they said, ‘What happened to you? You used to be a Christian girl!’ And I said, ‘Well, if you were a true Christian, you would have your facts straight. Christianity is about love.’ The debate resulted in a lot of threats and hate mail to people who agreed and disagreed with me. At one point I had to say, ‘Dude, everyone lay off.’ Can’t people have friendly debates about sensitive topics without it turning into unnecessary threats?” - Pop star Miley Cyrus on her marriage equality tattoo - - - - - - - - - - -

Some Pretty Cool Stuff - Issue No. 008

I'm eager to share "Some Pretty Cool Stuff" I found on the internet this week.  One of the items can even help you in the event you're held captive in another country or your own home.

For those with limited space, the other two items - the bucket and the hanger are definite must-haves.  I have always wanted a hanger for my gym bag so that I can easily store it away after I put on my dress shirt for work.  And the bucket? Well, I don't really need one, but it would be very convenient to have in my garage for washing my car.

Let's start off with this pretty cool bucket.

Pack-Away Bucket
Once in a while we all need a bucket. No need for cheap plastic or heavy, galvanized metal versions that are cumbersome and awkward to store. Enter the award-winning Pack-Away bucket: another of life's little problems solved by Wacky Practicals. Buy $31


SOLO Collapsible Hanger
Don’t let your closet slow you down. SOLO is a collapsible hanger that makes it easy to hang and remove clothes in one swift motion. Its unique design allows you to insert into a wide array of shirts, and then grab and go with just one hand!
-4 hangers in each set
-Collapsible design for grabbing clothes in a single motion
-Slim shape for easy insertion into button-up shirts and turtlenecks
-Folds for travel and storage
-Smooth polypropylene plastic in choice of white or charcoal
Buy $10.99


Titanium Escape Ring
It's a simple but elegant-looking ring made of titanium, cut from solid barstock and polished to a mirror finish.
But unlike all other rings, this one contains a saw and handcuff shim pick combination tool which is completely hidden from view when worn.
Located on a finger, its always in the exact area needed to quickly access and deploy, even when handcuffed.
The shim can be used to open single-locked handcuffs, while the saw can cut zip-ties, disposable handcuffs, duct tape, rope, and other non-metallic materials. Currently out of stock, but when available it will cost you $79.95
