In either case, I find a heap of my “Life’s a Ride” section of my acct comes from your site & I’d like to thank you for your inspiration. Please, keep it up.
Firstly… thanks for writing! A) Tumblr ask form doesn’t allow you to include links, but you can always use the submit page… then you can your email or whathaveyou.

Mostly because I’ve already got about 800 other sites I use and… Continue Reading »
