When it comes to whisky, I always spell mine without an —˜e’. Don’t get me wrong. I like bourbon. In fact, I love it. It’s great, but it isn’t —˜whisky’. It’s —˜whiskey’, the same way that Irish is. Only Scotch whisky (and some Canadian) is spelled —˜whisky’. So saying, …

Earlier I did a review for another J C Penney washcloth, one that I’d been disappointed in. Prior to purchasing that product, though, I’d been getting J C Penney Home Collection Washcloths. Pricing is about the same, but there is a difference.
I noticed the other product was …

I’ve always believed it’s important to support a good cause and to support your local community. As such, I make it a point to shop at the local Salvation Army as often as possible. If it saves me a couple bucks in the process, then all the better! At …
