I decided to boycott the 2022 World Cup long ago and haven’t watched a second of the footage. “Boycott” might not be the right word since I’m simply choosing not to watch the games. Of course, I was never a…

For many years I used to live in an HOA (home owners associaton) controlled neighborhood in Westminster, just north of Denver. After my divorce I didn’t need to discuss home decoration plans with anyone else and felt like adding a…

I’ve been doing quite a bit of work on my bucket list during the time we were told to stay at home. I’ve been building a 3D printer and getting and up and running and kept busy in many ways.…

As per a recent survey 48% of all Facebook users admit that they look at the pic of their ex too often. If you are single you could easily check in with yourself. When did you last look? I understand…
