Our girl Sarah was a good citizen and performed her civic duty of jury duty, so we hear about all the insanity, nonsense, and protocol she went through just to perform the thankless task of justice. Plus, she had a post-birthday snowboarding experience with a bunch of ladies, and she is riding the high of powder playtime. We hear why friction gets a bad rap when it's actually important to survival. We discuss a man who thought he had lung cancer, but really he had inhaled an everyday household item. We learn which men Sarah counts as "safe men" even though she doesn't want them romantically. Plus, we learn about "facial conformity" and how if an actor doesn't get botox or plastic surgery they're perceived as more talented.
