Google Went Crazy...

DE @DaddyEvil (150830) • United States 15 Jun

I woke up yesterday and wondered what time it was... I have blackout curtains in my bedroom so looking at the windows doesn't help figure it out. My phone is always beside me so I picked it up. In the upper left hand corner, it...

DE @DaddyEvil (150830) • United States 25 May

Pretty picked up a package of stew meat a couple of days ago at the expensive grocery store (because she could walk there and back). She asked me this evening if I'd dice sweet onions and bell peppers for the stew, so I diced up...
