New Sponsor - MinimaLife

AJ, I’m not sure if you are aware of this, but I have been a devotee to the minimalist lifestyle for over a decade now. Yup, I’m so minimal I don’t like using vowels when I type. I’ve eliminated so much clutter from my life in these 10+ years that there’s not much left. Just me, my family and friends, and the plaque on my teeth. Wouldn’t you know that I nearly squee’d (without the E’s) when I saw a new subscription box service coming in early 2022! That’s right, the fine folks at MinimaLife have the soon-to-be must-have subscription box service of this new year….

Rad or Sad - A tasty conversational topic!
