Now, this one is gender neutral, since in the past half hour it’s happened to a man and a woman. We’ve got all these shows now, Queer Eye, Ambush Makeover, the Swan…I’ve lost count. In some of these cases, people who feel they need help reach out and volunteer for the show. In quite a […]

So your house was just swept away. You are unsure where all your relatives are. You have the clothes on your back and a waterlogged car.
