The only one thing that you requested was for the garbage to be taken out. A little while later you realize your partner didn’t do it. When you ask why it didn’t get done, your partner says “I never heard you ask me”. Crazy how that works, how your partner didn’t hear the one thing […]
In the movies, invisibility is a potent power. Whether it’s a mud-covered hero, a cloaked spaceship, or a stealthy ninja, invisibility allows people in movies to be more effective and, frequently, accomplish the impossible.
