Toenail Cutting And Other Unpleasant Things

July 14, 2026
I have never liked having my toenails cut. I still remember as a child not liking it when my mother cut my toenails and then used that pointy thing to clean out under the edges of the nails (which to be fair to her, is what she should have done, I just hated it). It

July 8, 2026

Sweaty Shop is Back

June 4, 2022
What was that? You read that correctly, Sweaty Shop is back. Like a phoenix from the ashes. The Phoenix Although it amazes me that though lots and lots of people like using the analogy of the phoenix rising from the ashes, not very many people at all stop to reflex on how the phoenix came

Whoops….
