Life can be hard. These posts will make it easier. From home design, travel tips, book lists, etc.
You have an event coming up and your obese friend/family member is coming over. Do you let them sit on and possibly break your regular furniture? Do you provide a special chair for them? And, most importantly… How do you tell them? Our normal mojo on this blog is to provide advice and recommendations to …
Struggling to find someone who is dating material? Well, just try online dating! Everyone online is nice and accepting after all… Finding people to date where I grew up was a lot like that song by the Dixie Chicks. If you looked all around the town, all you’d find was Earl. Since I wasn’t into …
