February 2012 Cosmopolitan Magazine has definitely pointed me in the right direction! The post about the the wine-sipping-through-narrow-window-to-avoid-computer-damage incident definitely had me laughing along with the picture proof! I have subscribed and am looking forward to your next post!(^^,)

Howdy, There's no doubt that your web site may be having web browser compatibility problems. When I take a look at your blog in Safari, it looks fine but when opening in IE, it's got some overlapping issues.
I merely wanted to provide you with a quick heads up! Aside from that, excellent site!

I am extremely impressed with your writing skills as well as
with the layout on your weblog. Is this a paid theme or did you modify it yourself?
Either way keep up the nice quality writing, it's rare to see a great blog
like this one these days.
Its so hard trying to find a reputable online marketing company nowadays, just going to do it myself I think
p.s Never take guidance from people on the Warrior Forums :)
Why visitors still use to read news papers when in this technological globe everything is
available on net?
