Stop for a moment. Think about your life without ice cubes. Without cold beer. Without convenient frozen dinners. I perish at the thought!
A few weeks ago while I was home with my mom and dad, we were talking about breakfast. My mom has this prune and honey spread she and my dad like to eat [...]

U-G-L-Y, at least I have an alibi! It’s UGLY! It’s UGLY!
It’s been so ugly, and I’ve been busy, that I’ve been ignoring the update till now. I have lost a lot of money in the market in all my investment accounts.
