Authentic Nautical Accessories, and Custom Furnishings
My posts are rarely overtly political in nature. But the target of Washington stupidity is soooooo tempting; I find it hard to refrain. You can Google Murphy's Laws of Combat. It's not only entertaining, but my friends who've seen combat say that it's perceptive and accurate. One of the laws listed in it is:" The …
I read about "influencers" on the news with hundreds of thousands followers, and I marvel at some of the idiocy they propose, and people seem to oooh and ahhh about all that rubbish. That's not me. Those folks could seemingly write a post about how pesto is implicated in making those addicted to it glabrous, …

In my case, I'll freely admit that among my druthers is quitting smoking and drinking earlier. But then I'll admit to the fact that, …
Yes! We are not amused. We demand an apology from those fantasy-loving fools at WordPress Prompt Central. Now! WE know you fools have monthly get-togethers in your meeting room - the one back behind the old bathrooms that no one uses ( leaky, we understand). You get together, eat greasy takeout, and challenge each other …
I had a friend who had abandonment issues with her recurrent boyfriend.
In the'60s, the backside of Boston's Beacon Hill was a sort of working-class neighborhood of hospital workers, refugees from the urban renewal projects in Boston's West End, and folkies like my friends and I.
