This box of cereal has been sitting on the table for the last few days. As if my kids’ warm-intended tagging wasn’t disturbing enough, the picture of the power walker has been fnording me.

Last night I found an official place where one can theoretically get on the “do not send credit card offers” list, not that you don’t want to invest in a diamond cut shredder anyway.
