Does anyone else think the idea of “pay it forward” is kinda demeaning? Am I the only one? Is the idea of doing a good deed so gone out the window that we need gold stars to tell us to do a good deed and show off that we’ve done it? Somebody told me this …

Do You See What I Don’t?
I keep hearing this commercial for something called invisible bifocals. Why would anybody want those? They sound like more trouble than they’re worth. Imagine losing them. How would you know when you found them? Actually, how would you know if you lost them to begin with? They are, after all, invisible which means they could …

Because braille watches are watches that you use by opening the face and touching the hands, they get more ware than your average watch. They get dirty. the latch that holds …
Hey Buddy, Music Is Playing.

Wow. There are going to be some pissed off people right about now. I guess somebody had a bad day with the printers, and a whole batch of Fruit Smash lottery tickets were printed wrong so it looked like they were winners, big winners. In the end, I guess what really matters is what happens …
