Estrogen is a carcinogen. Why anyone pays money to take it on purpose is a mystery to me.

 

The HGTV host of three different home makeover shows stops by a local TV station to pimp his appearance in town and play, “Name That Tool.” No, really.

 

People pay up to $8000 for seminars put on by some guy named Jeff, but YOU can have them in your own home for two payments of $29.95.

 

Today’s featured doggie is a collie mix named “Champ” who was found wandering near the tracks and taken to the Anti-Cruelty Society. He’s up for adoption. No rush, but if you don’t make that phone call now, our furry friend is food for the fishes.
