The gasket for the pneumatic system in my high-back executive chair in my home-office has slowly been wearing out for the last few years. This makes me sad because I like this chair, and I hate to part with it, but the annoyance of it dropping a half inch every 5 minutes (and having to stand up and raise the chair back to the maximum height every ( Read more... )

Recently I needed to get some supplies for various...projects, which led me to Walmart. I hate shopping at Walmart because of a multitude of their practices and I avoid it most of the time.

I'm one of those people who goes through all of their credit card charges, spot-checks receipts from questionable shops, and strives to ensure all charges are legitimate. This is often a waste of time, as so many things are completely electronic and automated, decreasing the possibility for human error. However, occasionally, and often enough to ( Read more... )

It's no secret- I love to dress up. I love wearing suits, vests, ties, hats, gloves, women's skin, slacks, button-downs, and more ( Read more... )
