When I was engaged to my future wife (we've now been married for 20 years!) both she and her father made it clear that they wanted someone with a good stable job with good "benefits".

As I lay here on the ground, completely exhausted from the workout I just did, I’m thinking about the SEO crisis we had yesterday. <img src="https://mcusercontent.com/4bdbf922212cd053de282f27f/images/d28d99e4-4f3e-c963-d04b-b72f07e82626.jpg" width="480" height="640" data-file-id="473436" data-cke-saved-src="https://mcu... |
