I experienced medical tyranny this evening. I need a new office chair. The piece of crap I purchased I 2 years ago is falling apart on me. Some things in Greece are extraordinarily expensive and it is difficult for anyone to have “nice things.” Taxes, other costs, etc… I paid the equivalent of about 250.00 …
Being named an executor of a will can be an honour. It can also be a big hassle. But as an executor, you should bear in mind there are legal duties and responsibilities, as well as carrying out the wishes of the deceased. There are some things you should not do, as an executor of …
We took advantage of some great weather and headed up to Exarchos which is located in the prefecture of Phthiotis, central Greece. We did have a big reason to go but because it was such a nice day, we decided ahead of time that there was no rush to get back and we’d just drive …

First, I want to make it quite clear that I am not an Andrew Scheer supporter by any means. In fact, he stands for policies that I find absolutely against inherent rights including freedom of association. His refusal to consider dismantling “supply chain management” of milk marketing boards is just one area that I find …
Every day we we are inundated through the media, through some friends, and by environmental activists raging on about plastics.

“Does the analysis I’ve just provided promote this rape culture? This is an old saw, which we’ve encountered before. An analysis of pedophilia promotes it. An analysis of terrorism justifies it.
