With the number of freaky storms we’re having at this time of year, I’m on edge with the first clap of thunder that I hear. Not that I’ve been naughty and fear being struck by lightning like we were told when we were kids.
I’m on edge because I fear for my modem, that’s all. It’s [...]

I love shopping for hours on end, and I would too if I just didn’t have to go to the bathroom. I will be honest, most of the toilets stink even if they’re in big fancy malls where you’d expect a certain level of cleanliness.
