While searching for more chocolate treats, I stumbled on this entertaining story and concluded God CAN’T possibly be female or that story would be biological fact. Men and women would both be happy, divorce rates would plummet, Clinton would be exonerated, wars would cease, peace on Earth would – finally –reign. What is it about […]

Heck, half my Twitter followers now think of me whenever they pop a piece, so I guess word has spread. I heard about this great recipe from author Sherry Thomas and thought I’d share it with […]
