Summary

Ah, 2007. We were loving Plain White T’s, reading the final Harry Potter book, and three families in Washington were being mercilessly stalked via their cellphones even though the calls seemed to be coming from their own phones. Bethany tells the story of the Kuykendall phone stalker. Then, while we want to be responsible clothing consumers, not all of us can afford slow fashion. So Kathleen’s giving tips on how to tell if your fast fashion garment is going to stand the test of time or will dissolve the first time you wash it. Then, another fun round of Dr. Google!
