Fair Isle, Four Down

Fair Isle, Four Down

Sophistishe has gone Fair Isle! Come on over if you’re reading through the feed.

Madware?

Madware?

Lately, I’ve been getting quite a few spam text messages on both of my phones. It’s so annoying, but I chalked it up to being “one of those things”… someone somehow gaining access to my numbers.
