Suz’s Ramblings…

A couple of posts ago I was griping about what I paid for a freaking swimsuit.  Yesterday, we hit the sale at JC Penney, as I’m down to one pair of jeans that fit and are free of holes, especially holes in the butt area.   I’m still searching for at least one pair that’s been [...]

I’d add a part number to the title, but I can’t recall if I’ve bitched about my ISP prior to this or not, much less the number of times I’ve bitched about them if I have.
