  1. I don’t even know how I ended up here, but I thought this post was good.
    I don’t know who you are but certainly you are going to a famous blogger if you are
    not already 😉 Cheers!

  2. Awesome blog! Do you have any tips and hints for aspiring writers?
    I’m hoping to start my own website soon but I’m a little lost on everything.
    Would you recommend starting with a free platform like WordPress or go for
    a paid option? There are so many choices out there that
    I’m totally overwhelmed .. Any suggestions? Appreciate it!

  3. Admiring the persistence you put into your website and
    detailed information you offer. It’s awesome to come across a blog every once in a while
    that isn’t the same outdated rehashed information. Fantastic read!
    I’ve saved your site and I’m including your RSS feeds to my Google account.

  4. The other day, while I was at work, my cousin stole my
    iphone and tested to see if it can survive a 40 foot drop, just so she can be a
    youtube sensation. My iPad is now broken and she has 83 views.

    I know this is completely off topic but I had to share it
    with someone!

  5. When I initially commented I clicked the “Notify me when new comments are added” checkbox
    and now each time a comment is added I get three emails with the same
    comment. Is there any way you can remove people from that
    service? Appreciate it!

  6. I’m amazed, I have to admit. Seldom do I encounter a blog that’s both
    equally educative and amusing, and let me tell you,
    you’ve hit the nail on the head. The issue is something which too few people are
    speaking intelligently about. I’m very happy that
    I came across this in my hunt for something relating to this.

  7. Very nice post. I just stumbled upon your weblog and wished to say
    that I have truly enjoyed surfing around your blog posts.
    After all I will be subscribing to your rss feed and I hope you write again soon!
