  • cupcake that cost 1 cent each (Tell where!! Tell me where!! I love cupcakes)
  • how much do you take care of a wife (love the use of ‘a’ here. Umm… not much! Actually she takes care of me)
  • how to destroy right botton of hp laptop (Dude, did you mean a button or bottom? Very simple, ask a toddler! they can break pretty much everything in a laptop)
  • how to make your wife forget ( what exactly? but whatever it is, they usually don’t forget, caution!)
  • i asked him for the increment (and then…?)

 

That’s all to share with you today, I am very happy that we are growing. Thanks for being with us! We hope to keep on bringing more information, guidance and enjoyment, stick with us.

    Those are some great stats. Will you be including some financial data in future monthly updates? I am just starting out on a new blog and wonder how much money 73k unique visitors could translate into… Thank you for your time
