    Real estate listings suck

    My cousin's wife drove around until she found a place that was where she wanted, land ,area, then made an offer to the owners. My cousin and her have good business heads . I know another case where the impossible was done using that method.

    One less John on the Forum

    Always acting is an awkward way to live. It wears on you. I found I tended to have issues lucking beneath, I was shorter tempered. I'm really at heart easy going and laid back. Maybe just too lazy to get upset, chuckle. Anyway that was my experience from my first marriage. I'm very happily...

    TIK history on You-Tube does about as good a job of explaining some of the differences. His take on Nazi and Fascism is about as clear as you will get in these muddy waters. This is not the place for such a discussion. How about another one of Dad's stories ? The Canadian Army went into...

    Whisk(e)y, wine and cheese!

    Whisk(e)y, wine and cheese!

    Beer tastes are individual. Sometimes there is no accounting for taste. I'm fond of a fine local pilsner, but I can't afford the craft beer, so I make do with a merely good beer.
