There Are No Puns For Pumpkin Pie Dip…

Photo courtesy of Hungry Girl...Or maybe there are. My brain has kind of given up for now. As of two days ago, the MONTH OLD graphics card in my MONTH OLD, built by me desktop literally spontaneously combusted. I was using the computer and it randomly turned off. When that happens, it's usually a thermal … Continue reading There Are No Puns For Pumpkin Pie Dip…
