“@TonikJDK: Fair warning. If I see someone wearing Google Glass I will run up and yell 'Safe Search off, horse porn!!'” 'nuff said. * * * “@tenderlove: I wish name tags were a hip thing.

I unloaded all of those shelves into stacks in the guest bedroom, then hauled the shelves downstairs. I'm going to make use of the white one in my storage room, for paints and such. The brown one is a…
