If only because occasionally a search term will cause me to realize that I left a key point out of a post, and I feel bad that a particular question went unanswered. Mostly though I'm either scared, or intrigued :PCurbstone Valley Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06714297348566721344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7306285038402649171.post-34294871636013888712011-05-16T09:12:11.064-05:002011-05-16T09:12:11.064-05:00I love this post!

And there's one phrase certain people search for that's very not-safe-for-work, and believe it or not they end up at my blog. I can't repeat it here for fear of continuing the cycle!
