Things to Try: We Feel Fine

I have been on the Internet longer than the average bear.  I also work some in the technology field.  Unfortunately, it is these two things, amongst others, that usually leaves me at times with less than a wow reaction than probably the average bear when seeing new things on the Internet.  A few weeks ago, [...]

I had missed my huge treehouse after it was destroyed by my last landlords.  So I have been slowly making furnishings for the place.  I just finished my working rocking chairs.   These actually rock.  I love it when a plan comes together… This picture also has [...]
