The Double A Lounge

For those of you who love Gin and can’t part with it, then this article will make you cringe in horror. It outlines a way to make your own weed killer using cheap gin. If you were looking to make some space in your liquor cabinet, this might be worth a try. I wonder if [...]

Here is a product that is long overdue.  The product is aimed at those 50 years of age and older but even I have a hard time with designs of today’s cell phones.  Small buttons, cryptic layouts, menu overload, and a screen fit for the eyes of a mouse.  This phone has nice large buttons, [...]
