    I just found your site and have noticed that the Brag Baskets are not very full. If everyone is going by what the experts are suggesting, why isn’t everyone bragging? The one article that grinds my gears the most is the 2013 “7 Most Common Weaknesses of Local Shops”. Those should be the “7 Best Advantages of Local Shops” in 2018. Any chance you could take another (new) look at those?

    Oh golly, this is embarrassing. I’m commenting and no one else is here. I didn’t notice anything here about this site being replaced by Facebook. I have to wonder why you still have this page here if you’re not using it? Just for guys like me that aren’t on Facebook, I guess. Sorry for taking your time.

      CD, there are about 10 to 12 thousand visitors here each month. (That’s my Brag for the week.) I’m glad you’re one of them.

Howdy!
