I have a friend who is averse to reading emails. That makes it difficult for us to arrange to meet for coffee because I’m averse to telephones. As spies we’d do dismally. How would we come together long enough to arrange a dead drop, a place where we would leave and pick up

Painted By The Numbers
Mar 26, 2019
Facebook went down the other day and what a blessing it was. I like keeping up with friends but I hate the commercials I have to scroll through to reach them. If scrolling can be counted as an aerobic exercise, I’m fit. Promos aren’t the only reason I needed a break. I’m t
