William Steig book sales might also be taking a hit, at least among those seeking CBD for dyslexia…

Fun fact #1 about catholic bookshops. in Turin a catholic bookshop was in front of a sexy shop. https://goo.gl/maps/YkBJDuYMAwGFDXoC6 The catholic bookshop is still here selling DVD on the St. Paul life. The sexy shop has closed and move in the suburbs.
Fun fact #2: there’s a CBD electronics that makes and sells sells TV stuff (in US cable cutters) https://www.cbvicky.it/ They sell pipes too, of course. The CB stands for the owners initials and citizen band.

And the fact that they both offer life-changing, miracle-working, solutions to the pain that life inflicts on us just adds to the confusion.

great place to work - that surprises the hell out of me. It has been my experience that any man who makes a display of his “Christianity” in his business is in fact a liar, a thief, and a hypocrite of the most disgusting kind, and takes joy in cheating his employees without mercy.

If you aren’t high, how are you going to read Bök’s books?

They most likely could have just waited till it’s no longer a fad.
Hey, that’s a Glitch avatar! Nice to see. I miss Glitch.
It’s been a long time now, hasn’t it? It was such a great game to play when up in the middle of the night rocking a baby in one arm, and now that baby is in grade three!
Just because you said that I checked in on how the fan relaunch projects were going, figuring they would have likely died out, and found out that Eleven opened up a list for alpha testers on August 30. What a coincidence.

Not necessarily any man or business, but certainly at a much higher rate than in the secular world. It is one thing to pay for an ad in the church bulletin, another to make it a selling point.
