Ian James - I'm always up for a debate on Audism. Here is as good a place as any. :)

What is the Difference Between the UK and Britain?

What is the Difference Between the UK and Britain?

Holocaust Memorial Day Interview with Auschwitz Survivor Eva Mozes Kor

Holocaust Memorial Day Interview with Auschwitz Survivor Eva Mozes Kor
I can't even grasp how humanity ever let this happen. It is just pure evil. I'm fighting tears as I write this. I feel so bad for what all of these people went through. I know I'm late in reading this but what a powerful piece. Well done Jo.

A Ship's Bell Gives Your Front Door a Nautical Vibe
Yes it is. We figure the projects will outlive us, because we are on a very tight budget and do most of the work ourselves.

I admire you for having the tenacity to restore an old house. That must be quite a project.
