  5. Wow! I could use new towels! As for subjects, I like to go with a few stock subjects each week like Works for Me Wednesday. I have my own on Tuesdays, kind of a venting day, called Tales from the Trenches. It started as a vent on behind the retail counter stories, but I've been able to vent about other things too!

    Thank you so much!
