Well as the amazing Tweetings app has fallen to twiters cull of apps I think this may be my last tweet. I'll try to continue with the official twiter app, but so far I'm not impressed. It's been fun guys and I suspect my world has just gotten smaller. ☹️😞😢😦🙍

I don’t understand guys that pay a dominatrix to abuse and degrade them if you’re married just load the dishwasher or fold the laundry wrong. It’s free.

An air temperature of -17 F. puts one's commitment to walk to work to the test. Today, the bar is green. Added bonus: frozen eyelashes give the world a misty kaleidoscopic view. That's a nice way to start the day.
