Is this thing on?

Still hate the block editor, not gonna lie. It keeps me from posting even when I think about posting, which isn’t all too often. I do have over 100 drafts saved. Let’s see, what’s new with me? Ally Bean asked … Continue reading →

It’s a Whole Thing

Posted on February 7, 2021 by joey

Halloween Hello

Posted on October 31, 2020 by joey

Mail Fail

Posted on September 1, 2020 by joey

I’m one of those people who uses the USPS. Do I use it as much as I did prior to the internet? No. Y’all, before I got married, I didn’t even own a television. I spent a lot of time … Continue reading →
