Going for a morning or evening run is therapeutic for some. The last thing anyone who is running wants to deal with is a disrespectful man.
A woman in Florida dealt with just that, and successfully put the troll in his place.

Michelle Kirk of Fort Lauderdale, Florida, was in the midst of her jog when a man stopped her. He proceeded to give her "advice" on her breasts, saying:
"You need to get a better sports bra because your boobs are sagging and will only sag more if you continue to run."

(Wtf!?)

Anyway, After Michelle Kirk finished with her jog, she sat down at her computer and uploaded a photo of herself with her middle finger up, and posted the following caption on social media:

"To the nasty old man who stopped me mid run to inform me that I need to get a better sports bra because my boobs are sagging and will only sag more if I continue to run...f*ck you. You are the reason why women have insecurities. If you don't like the way my boobs 'sag' when I run, then don't look! I will NEVER stop doing what I love and I love myself way to much to have your hate bring me down!"
After she posted her story, it went viral. Kirk wrote the following in response to the attention:
"I never thought telling my body-shaming story would go viral, but I'm glad it did! If I was able to help even one women realize their beauty and not to listen to any negative things people have to say, then my mission was completed."
My Two Cents

Michelle Kirk of Fort Lauderdale, Florida: You are women's heroine of the month! I salute you! Do your thing!
To the old man who commented on her breasts (which I think are gorgeous by the way), in the words of my hero, Michelle Kirk: F*CK YOU.

Ladies, go on that damn run. Who cares about what some idiot says!?

Tiny Home Living: Bodega

The tiny home movement has been sweeping the country for the past several years. People yearn for the simplicity of living in a tiny home, and with the way the economy is, it is no wonder the movement has grown so immensely. When it comes to tiny homes, you have the mobile tiny homes, where you can take your home anywhere you want to go. You have Yurts, which are incredible tiny homes to put down your roots in. One type of tiny home that is growing in popularity is a Bodega home. The Bodega is a very nice tiny home. The thing that makes the Bodega different than other tiny homes is that it isn't mobile. So if you plan on living in a Bodega home, make sure you have land to build it on. Your Bodega may cost you anywhere from $15,000 to $25,000 to build. On some Bodega homes, you are able to expand the space for an extra bedroom or home office. Bodega homes can be as small as 65sq feet, and as large as 800sq feet.

Photo credit: screenrant Fans who were awaiting the season premiere of "The Last Ship" last night were met with disappointment. TNT decided to postpone the season 3 premiere due to the tragedy that took place in Orlando, Florida in the early hours of Sunday morning. At least 50 people died, and another 53 were injured when a gunman opened fire at a popular club in Florida. Season 3 of "The Last Ship" was to open with gunshots being fired at a nightclub full of patrons. TNT has not announced a new premiere date for the season premiere of "The Last Ship." My Two Cents I am really glad that TNT had enough respect to postpone the premiere. Even though I am a fan of the show, I think it would be inappropriate to show an episode involving that subject matter. Thank you, TNT! On a personal note, last night my best friend from college told me that a girl that we went to college with was among the victims of the Pulse tragedy: KJ Morris. I didn...

Photo Credit: ravishly Actor/Fellow Blogger/My First Crush, Wil Wheaton, went on the attack after Paul Ryan sent out his prayers and condolences to the victims of the Church shooting tragedy. Ryan tweeted for a "call to prayer." Wheaton subsequently posted the following in response: "The murdered victims were in a church. If prayers did anything, they'd still be alive, you worthless sack of s**t." After receiving a TON of backlash, Wheaton tried to explain his tweet in a series of later tweets: "Hey, real and actual people of faith: I hear you. I apologise for insulting you, in my rage at Paul Ryan's refusal to address gun violence." He also stated that Paul Ryan is someone who exploits his faith by hiding behind his words without conducting actual good deeds. Wheaton also expressed his upset that Ryan refused to address gun violence. My Two Cents The thing I love about Wil Wheaton is that he is not afraid of expressing his opinion....
