I had the misfortune of having to listen to some of Rush Limbaugh’s speech on the radio yesterday. I tried to hang on and listen as long as I could-but there came a point where I just could not stand it anymore. Rush Limbaugh does not care about people-except in

Another device I don’t need……
I really don’t like Bluetooth headsets and I have resolved never to have one. My sister has one-she loves it. To each their own. I just know I hate walking by someone and think they are talking to me-and then I turn to see this annoying thing in their ear:
