I love to hear “I’ll be back” or “I’ve put you on my favorites” from real readers; however, I hate reading it on comment spam posts. That’s the type of chatty comment spammers write in their comment spam to make the unwary blogger think someone’s actually visited their site and … Continue reading →
I’ll be at the Coast all weekend helping my brother with his house. The plan is to rip out kitchen cabinets, replace sheetrock, clean kitchen cabinets (presuming they are salvageable), and replace same cabinets.
