posted over 3 years ago | 2 comments
Ebay is now forbidding sellers from leaving any feedback for buyers that isn’t positive. Now this may look like a kinder and gentler world of ebay except for one thing; buyers can still leave neutral or negative feedback for sellers. How does that...

Another meat cleaver killing; when will this madness end? Why does anybody need a meat cleaver? I have cooked my entire life and never found the need to purchase one of these culinary hatchets. It's just overkill; who needs one of these murderous ...

Recently I encountered a zealot right here on eons! Now, generally zealots are associated with various religious factions, but this one was a political zealot; to be more specific, a zealot of a presidential candidate. Enthusiasm is great and I su...

The next step in the remodel was removing the walls between the old house and the new. Then it was time to put the floor into the part of the house where the trailer used to be. The builder was happily moving along with the sills and as I came aro...
