Worse Question..
What’s for dinner? It’s a terrible question because for many humans getting food is a daily struggle for many reasons. If you are lucky you have food or the means to get food, it’s easy to get bored with eating the same food over and over. If you have a large family sometimes it’s still […]

Stay Friends
Don’t let two men who don’t know you, don’t care about you, and don’t know your name be the cause of you loosing friendships. Just agree to disagree. Be different. Stay friends. Friendship is fragile. Leave politics out of it.

It’s about Moderation
