I’m not a Twitter user, making me and the dog down the street the only non-Tweeters in existence.  Listening to the ladies on The View talk about their Tweeting habits just kind of kills the whole draw for me.  But if I was interested in reading vapid celebrity comments or broadcasting my thoughts (as few

I have a surprise for all of you party goers still trying to come up with the perfect costume idea for next week’s festivities.
