Superman has his arch enemy – Lex Luther. The kingdom of Gondor has a hated enemy – Sauron. The Avengers were almost defeated by their nemesis – Thanos. There are even enemies of food storage. Today, we’ll go through these five enemies of food storage and how to defeat them. […]
Failure has gotten a bad rap. No one wants to fail and, can we blame them? Which sounds more prestigious? (1) I just got demoted at my job. (2) My boss was so happy with my performance that he announced my name during a company meeting. Well, duh! The vast […]
Recently, I hopped out of bed and headed to shower only to find ice-cold water. And all of us know that when it comes to showers, an ice-cold shower is as good as NO SHOWER! So that was problem #1. Problem #2, I hadn’t had a shower the day before […]
