I live on St. Simon’s, which is a barrier island off the coast of Georgia. Just surfing around the internet today, I have found that a great deal is going on with my neighbors that I didn’t know. Did you know that a St. Simon’s Mom invented a world famous tooth whitening system? It makes me proud to see one of my fellow islanders succeed. But I guess it’s easy to achieve financial success here when St. Simon’s banks forgive credit card debt, and St. Simon’s auctions sell cars for $9. All may not be well here though, St. Simon’s e-cigarretes have been exposed! I didn’t even know we made e-cigarretes. I’ll have to ask my date. I haven’t asked her out yet, but a St. Simon’s single is interested in me. Judging by her picture, I think we may very well hit it off. ---

The sad thing is you could move to NYC and you woudn’t see any more local action. Funny how far NYC has fallen. ---

Wow, I wish I could have dates with women I haven’t asked out, or possibly even spoken to. Afterward, we could share an e-cigarette. ---

Is that all? Pffft. My little town not only has someone who invented a rival tooth-whitening system, forgiving banks, and cheap cars, we also have a local mom who created a world-famous wrinkle-eliminating skin care regime and one who developed the most awesome system to get a flat stomach. There’s also a local single interested in me, but by the looks of her, I don’t think we’d hit it off. ---

If someone finds one weird old trick to winning a land war in Asia, please let me know. I could actually use that. ---

Apparently a woman in the next town to me is making $7400 a week working from home. I don’t know why she’s being paid in dollars, though. ---
