They say laughter is the best medicine, right? Here's a little Wordless Wednesday ALI community humor while I recover from shingles. My husband is quite the fan of the Rage Comics. He found this one a few weeks ago on Reddit, and I couldn't not share. (NSFW language below.) … Read More »

Tweeting About My Twat: Where Social Media and TMI Awkwardly Collide
