Open Marriages on Oprah

Did you happen to see Oprah today? Pretty interesting to say the least. Lots of talk about sex and, ahem, Erotica (aka “porn” for those who can call it as it is) - she even ended the show with a couple who discussed their open marriage. Being nosey like I am, I […]

Well, not here on this blog exactly ;), but there is a site for tattoo personals for those who love tattoos and are looking for dates with similar preferences.

Poor Credit? Me? What?

Well, I called PC Financial and asked for a very low amount of overdraft protection. They asked me a bunch of questions, put me on hold for a while and then said “no”.

Rubber Checks

I really want to write “cheques” but for my US readers, and most of you are ;), I wrote “checks”.
