DEDICATION, DEVOTION, WRITING A BLANK SCREEN ALIVE

April 4, 2024 by David Gillaspie

BoomerPdx spam is very encouraging with kudos for dedication, devotion, and persistence. Persistence, not pestilence.

LAUGHING SPAM ENGLISH ON BOOMERPDX. 151K LAUGHS LATER?

February 11, 2017 by David Gillaspie

Laughing spam won’t make you fat, throw up, or scream. If laughing spam worked that way, I’d be fat, throwing up, and screaming every day. And I’m not thin, non-urpy, or quiet. Most of the time. Laughing spam is cute. That’s what I’ll call it, cute. It’s so vulnerable with an undercurrent […]
