The Joro spider (Trichonephila clavata) is not considered dangerous or highly poisonous to humans. While it is venomous, as are most spiders, its…
Yes, for the heck of it we ordered a $14 pretzel. I bought it at a place called Parma’s Tavern in Buford, Georgia. It was served in a pizza box. In hindsight, I guess we basically are just paying for flour ha ha. It also came with Olive tapenade and mustard. Have you ever seen…
This seems like a cool idea and I’d get the opportunity to visit four countries. It looks like it would cost somewhere around $1300-$2000 round-trip for the airfare plus other expenses like ground transportation and hotel from Atlanta, Georgia.

So after I got the news that my mom had been in the hospital, I soon came back to my hometown of Atlanta. This is not something I was expecting, but I am very honored to serve my family. In the middle of September, my mother fell and hit her head and then had a…
