Review: El Sabor Casero -- Mexican Restaurant

My Annoying Ant Problem...not as many..where did they go.?

What's on the Telly?
The “telly”? That's what the #British call television. Right? In America it's television, TV, or some old folks used to call it the “boob tube”. Why are old people so resistant to technological advance? No sooner than #television wa
I'm Not A Specialist, Honest
The worst thing about working in a hospital is that everyone expects you to be a #specialist in something. I suppose you could say I #specialize in pushing paper and ticking boxes for external auditors. But in no way am I a specialist in the way a #consul

Buffalo Wild Wings-Twin Falls, Restaurant Review
Buffalo Wild Wings is a restaurant in #TwinFalls Idaho. It's style is that of a sports "bar & grill" type #restaurant. Honestly, they have good #food, and a cool set up, but they are a bit pricy. I can honestly say I would not mind going back, but t

Why does EVERYTHING have to be branded these days????
Ranty McRanterson wants a #rant. Sometimes, things I sell on #eBay are not branded, or to be honest, the labels have been cut out because they're itchy scratchy little blighters. But dearest eBay-san still wants everything to have a #brand. Even if it's

Dentistry Has Come a Long Way
