How Long Will It Take Me To Realize The Battery Is Dead?
https://youtu.be/qu6OISRsXL4 Turn On Already?! When it is really cold out I use some Oxford hand warmers the missus got me for my birthday.

Loving The Home Warranty
I have been at my home for a little over 10 years now, so things are breaking! Two summers ago my Air Conditioner was on the fritz. It would frequently have to be manually reset. The thought of having to fork over tons of money to have it fixed had me freaking out. I don’t…
