    There is an entire episode of Tacoma FD dedicated to the firefighters preparing for their annual station photos just in case they died! I’d like to think he did this on purpose so that people will laugh more than they cry

    So it turns out the little allergy I started having to drinking coffee pod coffee is a cockroach allergy! Apparently the FDA allows a certain percent of ground insect matter into coffee pods and that percentage isn't zero! Grind your own beans folks
