    Little Brother has been saying or telling us everything that pops into his head. It’s not just that there are his little comebacks to Big Brother’s conversations with us. Those are pretty funny too. He’s especially talkative during car rides. I have to turn the radio off to really listen to him or he will become upset. And Big Brother better not dare to talk while he’s speaking or he’ll fall apart. During our car rides, laugh inducing questions and quotes from Little Brother: “Don’t tell me I have banana feet! I won’t fall ok.” “Look how...

  • Top 10 Things You Should Buy Used-Part 1

    Kaniethonkie|Feb 20, 2014

    A couple of weeks ago, I gave you a list of things you should not buy used. Well this week, here is your list of things you should buy “Used”! 10. Clothes It’s utter insanity to buy clothes modeled on vintage styles brand-new and at premium prices.

Authenticity would declare a thrift store or vintage clothing retailer your best source of styles that come stra...
