Hmmmm, you have me reconsidering...

Help me pick out a gift for my Dad

He turns 75 soon. Not anything he NEEDS but what would be a cool thing to get him? For under $100.00. He loves cutting firewood at the farm - that would be his passion I guess. But I don’t want that to influence you, I’d like something unique for him.

Was using a Gillette TTO once and nicked the nostril with the “wing” of the blade that extends out beyond the ends. Ever since, I trim off the wing on either end. With nothing protruding, I can’t nick myself. When my brother got started after I gave him a TTO and blades I suggested he also trim the ...

The advantage of texting

Am I all alone in sending someone a text to inquire as to a good time to talk? Essentially finding a time good to talk verbally?

I didn’t know it was possible for any tube of cream to EVER be gone. Anybody actually use up a tube of Omega - they are HUGE!

Then send him $500.00 in unmarked bills and if it was a full moon that evening and the Cubs were making a run at the World Series he could get me in. And here I am!
