It’s like Match Game without Gene * Rayburn
Playing around with Google’s wildcard search operator. I typed this: My * Itches these are the top search results (I kid you not); Why does my throat itch? My scrotum itches really bad and I don’t know why? My legs will NOT stop itching… Causes of Ear Itching | ThriftyFun Why does my vagina itch?

Dreaming of biking, and swimming, and horseback riding…
Since I work a graveyard shift, I wear a sleep mask to block out the light, and to absorb some of the sweat from the night terrors. It’s not optional; I can’t sleep without it. Teresa won’t let me tinfoil the window; even though it faces the back yard. I don’t care if the squirrels

I was looking at our Emergency Meow Button and came up with this great idea to keep the dog from eating the cat food; a bowl that opens only when the cat is near, I was thinking of some sort of big magnet on her collar that would activate a sensor, like they use in

Tip for keeping track of postage
I came up with a great idea for keeping track of postage purchases- Teresa refills our Stamps.com account $100 at a time, as often as twice a week… This is confusing for me, as there is a delay in the purchase going through in our Paypal account that it’s drawn from… So I sprang up
