2. “How Canadians use hockey sticks to pay by debit at the drive-through”
3. “Crazy sore muscles but no bath tub? Improvise. Adapt. Overcome.”
4. “He hates water in his ears so we found a solution.”
5. “Don’t forget your lunch!”
6. “How I fixed my dryer when it stopped working...”
7. “I wasn’t sure if my package was under 16 oz for mailbox use and there were no scales at home.”
