Cringe
I got my first negative feedback today from a BnA member. S/he didn’t agree with some of my opinions.

My experiences with a country may be positive and someone else’s may be overwhelming negative. But that’s part of the fun of it, right?

You’ve connected, Court.

What some of you who read that article may not know is that I heard from several BootsnAll members after it was published who said, "Yeah, that's interesting and all, but we've been doing that for years now." And it's … [Read more]
