Home Essentials
Don’t really care if essential oils work as promised or not. When you live in the tropics and your thermostat entirely consists of opening or closing windows, scented candles are useless. Particularly when you live near the top of a valley and get nice cooling breezes on a regular...
Don’t Tell The Wife
She doesn’t realize that the more time I spend around rugged men, the more I appreciate the big damn dog she insisted we get. She might not appreciate the way their awful example leads me to make decidedly un-PC pronouncements about the one gender in this world*. Or my...
