I have two kids, 9 and 11, and neither of them are screaming and yelling about what music to play. If they want to listen to music, they know to go to the rumpus room and pick out a vinyl.

You could also just not buy one of those awful things. I have never seen a legitimate use for it that wasn't misplaced adolescent tech fantasies (omg I can tell big brother to make coffee and my keurig starts up!). But maybe my line

If you have a storage unit why are you sleeping on the streets ? Or am I misreading? I wish you the best of luck. I am friends with several published literary personalities and I can tell you it is not easy and took a lot longer than three

For twenty years I made and sold LSD across the East Coast. I spent my youth and perhaps most of my sanity doing it. For the longest time I lived by only one rule: Are you kind? Now I can pretty much do whatever the fuck I want. It's g

If you keep your LI profile up to date and have in demand skills, people will be knocking down your door to give you money. I've found all my best jobs from LI contacts tbh. It was a wasteland for a while but in my opinion has rebounde
