An Australian friend of mine once told me about a wonderful machine that cooked and pureed and baked and did just about everything one could want and did it all by itself.

But the idea stayed with me….. At least the part about … Continue reading.....
I get, on average, 3 requests to do a guest post every day. Typically, they start out by telling me how much they love this blog and then ask to promote an on-line gambling site.
For the record, I am not opposed to gambling. I’ve played more than a few hands of blackjack in Las Vegas myself. I am, however, … Continue reading.....
