So, I’m not sure this is the greatest policy in the world. Why would you publicly come out and state that you won’t prosecute anyone for stealing things under $25? It seems like a huge invitation for questionable people to come in to your store and go to town. Another thing they said was that they wouldn’t prosecute anyone under 18 years old. WTF? So
I’ve always been interested in home improvement projects that add value to my home. Upgrading kitchens and bathrooms are high on the list of projects that can really help increase your home’s value. We haven’t done any of these major projects in our current house, mostly because the house is pretty new and the kitchen and bathrooms are pretty current. We have done painting and
I officially hit the 5 year mark at my company today. Amazingly, I started at this company two months before 9/11. I never thought I’d see the 5 year mark!
