My Grandma used to say "You only get so many words when you're born and once you've used them up...that's it."
She said the same thing about steps too.
"Once they're gone you don't get anymore."
Words and steps, I think she meant that they are the measure of a life.
She was a cool lady.
p.s. and in those last few moments they won't occur to you either.

I love TMBG
I still can't decide what colour to paint my bedroom & it's making me CRAZY!
Hell, maybe I'll just leave it alone until a colour grabs me.
What about yellow RW?
-A
have you looked at the paint websites?
some have examples of rooms to see colour looks
What about yellow RW?
O_o
I think not, A! I'd like it to be either a light red (but not pink) or a sagey green, I think.
have you looked at the paint websites?

Yep, I've been doing that. Still stumped, though :/
Yay go with the yellow RW.
No yellow, Miss T!!
I would prefer a shade of red, but I'm having a hard time finding one that's not too dark but isn't pink.
The only problem is, the only light red I think I've ever seen IS pink.
I think.
- Cap'n A was mutinied over pizza.
missT Cap'm is off their latest album called The Else
It's different to other albums as the songs are more traditional length, rather than shorter
There are some great songs, with their great little obscure lyrics
eg. Catbug is a cat but he has bugness in his veins
and my favourite song of it is
the Mesopotamians
it just makes me so happy!
"Sargon Hamurabi Ashurbanipal and Gilgamesh"
Hi Guys,
Wassup? What have I missed? I am too tired to read back. How is everyone tonight?
Red sucks. yellow is the way to go for sure hee hee!
Any pizza left???
The only problem is, the only light red I think I've ever seen IS pink.
If I could find a light shade of burgundy that might work.
MMMMM, PUMPKIN PIE!!
Hiya Solly sweetie, how are you?
LOL Ergo, I can tell you like them. I can hear the excitment in your voice when you describe them.
Hi, Solly! :D
How was your day?
No yellow, Miss T!!!!!! >_<
Pumpkin Pizza????
Hiya death by pumkin pie, I don't think we've met.
How are you sweetie?

Tired is good if you had a nice time.
Too pink, EP.

We had homemade peach pie at work today.
YUM!
Does anyone else watch Wedding SOS on Slice?
-A is horrified
Has no idea what Amy is talking about.
Never heard of it, A.
Well, it's a show where people who are having a hard time planning their weddings, get three wishes from a wedding planner to help get stuff done.
So, anyway, on this show, there's a girl who has left the wedding entirely up to her maid-of-honor, and she refuses to even help work on the wedding. Especially because from Monday to Friday, they drive out to the farm to ride their horses.
However, the bride is constantly throwing fits because nothing is to her liking, even though she refuses to help plan.
Reality TV at it's best.
-A
Oh! That soudns like the show one of my co-workers was telling me about. She watched a hillbilly wedding where the bride cut wedges out of a potato for her granny to insert in the gaps between her remaining teeth so she could smile all pretty for the wedding photos.
Well, it's goodnight from me.
Have fun everyone.
Take care.
Byeeee.
oh amy people will do anything t be on Tv!
there is a show called Don't tell the Bride where the groom gets to plan everything, even her dress
who in their right mind would trust most men to do that, unless he's gay, in which case he's unlikely to be the groom
Does anyone watch 'The Mole'??? I missed it last week and I don't know what happened.
She watched a hillbilly wedding where the bride cut wedges out of a potato for her granny to insert in the gaps between her remaining teeth so she could smile all pretty for the wedding photos.
.......*is speechless*
Goodnight missT sweet dreams
Have a good night, Miss T :)
I haven't heard of The Mole, Pumpkin Pie. What's it about?
we had an aussie The Mole it was good, but they never made a second one
It's a reality show. You have a group of people doing challenges every week and if they complete the task a certain amount of money goes in the pot that will go to the winner at the end. But..... there is someone (The Mole) who is not what he/she seems and tries to cleverly sabotage the challenges. Who the Mole is....is a secret.
Rw it's fun to try and guess who it is, the contestants guess each week don't they? and one gets knocked out?
But..... there is someone (The Mole) who is not what he/she seems and tries to cleverly sabotage the challenges. Who the Mole is....is a secret.
Hmm, interesting..
Is it a good show?
If the contestants discover who the mole is, are they allowed to kill them?
Yes ergo. Tonight is the finale.
If the contestants discover who the mole is, are they allowed to kill them?
LOL, That would make it really interesting.
O_O
POTATOES RW?
POTATOES?!?!
-A
haha I googled it and there were 4 seasons but it was a few years ago and I'd forgotten
who do you think the mole is DBPP? do you have a firm idea?
POTATOES, A!
Believe it or not!
I missed it last week so I don't know who got booted. But my guess is the woman who is left(if she didn't lose last week). I forget her name.
Whoop whoop! I paired with Beautiful Boy tonight for both partnered stretches and chest strikes, so I'm pretty sure I scored.
^____^
Amy new job idea!
You and RW go into cut price dentistry
supply false teeth which are organic, environmentally friendly, recyclable and if you accidentally swallow one it's ok, as it's also a source of fibre
Umm. 4320 (9) at 9:39. Whoop, uhh, whoop? O_o
Go, K!! :D
Nice, EP ^_^
Well, I'm not paying anymore money to my scam artist of a dentist.
I'll just use potatoes.
-A
Death by pumpkin pie, the finale of the Mole is tonight 10 est. They will reveal the Mole and the winner. It's down to Nicole, Craig and Mark. I think Nicole is the mole, too.
Potatoes are dentistry's best kept secret.
Yes, that's her name. Thank you!!! I really do think it's her too.
My parents called from Australia last night. I talked to my nephew for the first time. He told me "Hi", and "Fast cars go vroom vroom", and "Night night".
He's 2.
But potatoes turn brown so quickly.
They they'll fit right in with hilbilly teeth!
Okay, this is me going from a good mood to a crappy mood.
Bush to relax protected species rules.
Plan takes scientists out of decision making on species status
WASHINGTON - The Bush administration on Monday said it plans to let federal agencies decide for themselves whether highways, dams, mines and other construction projects might harm endangered animals and plants.
The proposal, which does not require the approval of Congress, would reduce the mandatory, independent reviews that government scientists have been performing for 35 years. Developers welcomed the plan, while environmentalists derided it.
Interior Secretary Dirk Kempthorne said late Monday the changes were needed to ensure that the Endangered Species Act would not be used as a “back door” to regulate the gases blamed for global warming. In May, the polar bear became the first species declared as threatened because of climate change. Warming temperatures are expected to melt the sea ice the bear depends on for survival.
Really read it, read the whole thing and try to find the "logic" in it, and try to feel what they are really saying. It's not hard. They didn't even try to pretty it up or make it seem innocuous this time. They don't even care what it seems like anymore. It's just like, "Well, we're putting it in the hands of big businesses now because we don't want the environment's protection to get in the way."
How can this not just burn people up? It affects the whole world, not just america.
Seriously, how would you brush and floss potatoes???
And we'll call them Ergo's Eco-Friendly Exsanguinators.
..
Okay, too much?
-A
Sounds like he's going to inflict as much damage as he can in the limited time he has left in office, K.
How can this not just burn people up? It affects the whole world, not just america.
Which is why many of my friends and I believe that the world should be able to vote in American elections, not just Americans, as being such a powerful/influential nation the results affect the globe, not just one country.
Goodnight, guys.
But first, I'd just like to ask a question.
Is it the Bush Administration's goal to completely alienate the American people, piss the entire rest of the world off, and do an overhaul of everything we, as a nation, have worked so hard to build?
Because if that's the goal, it's a bunch of bullshit, I'm sorry. Enough is enough, and enough happened seven years ago.
Now I'm going. I hope you guys are well.
Goodnight, Mayo. Goodnight, SS. Take care, guys.
:)
Pumpkin, you wouldn't.
You'd eat them, and carve yourself another pair.
-A
Okay, well high fives to RW for saying it in a much better way. :)
Goodnight now!
Night, Mustard :)
I'm turning in as well. Have a good night, everyone :)
Raw potatoes.....ack!!!
The Mole is on. Gotta go.
Byeeee :)
RW that would be interesting
A love the name!
..or spit them into a pan of hot oil and have chips!
bye DBPP let us know who it is
goodnight mustard sweet dreams
goodnight RW sweet dreams too (hope you dream of your bedroom colours)
RW, that's what I think, too. It's like he's getting in his last few shots, and they are knockouts.
Splash, I'm not sure what his social agenda is, but his political one is really, really scary. The thing is that he and his people, his administration and above, even, have amassed so much power that it doesn't matter anymore who he alienates.
Doesn't that sound familiar?
ergoproxy said...
..or spit them into a pan of hot oil and have chips!
>_O
Are we talking teeth or fangs? Cause I'm not suggesting we put them on Jungle Animals or anything...
*a low growl comes from behind the couch*
Lear agrees.
-A
Mayo,
Ummm, yeah, so I am watching this episode of Intervention. This girl is huffing that duster stuff that you use to clean your computer. She just sticks the nozzle in her mouth and inhales, like 10 cans a day. She also cuts herself and doesn't eat.
Why am I telling you this? Because, there's always someone out there who feels lonelier and more fucked up than we do. It's so sad to watch her push away her family who so desperately wants to help her, to reach her. This girl doesn't care if she dies....she expects to die.
She finally agrees to treatment but only after she has run out of options and has hit rock bottom. She is getting help and finally realizing why she does the things she does. She has been sober since May of 2008.
Shows like that really hit me in the gut. I don't know what it is inside of me that relates so much to people like that. I guess it's just that I realize that I'm not all that different from them.
Not at all. Not even a little bit.
Mayo, hope you have a nice night. Hope you look around you and find someone's hand to grab hold to. Not for you, but for them.
Love to YOU Always,
S
p.s. fundaMentally flawed.
well amy you never know how far our Solanum Empire could stretch!!!
vets, zoos...the possibilities are only limited by the size of our spuds!
K can the next administration just change stuff back?
It's Me
I know....long time no be here.
Hate to barge in here after being gone for awhile, but I have been thinking about things and just did not know where else to turn, but to you and see what your thoughts were. So here it goes and I am sorry up front if I am "hogging the blog".
As I sit here and wonder what is happening to my life…who can I turn to….to make sense out of me….out of my life.
I have a complicated family….relative by birth…relative by marriage…relative just because they were part of my family growing up. My boyfriend calls us the hodge-podge family….can’t really blame him….it does get a bit complicated.
As I get older and more relatives leave me, I know things should be different. Time has gone and we have all settled into our own little lives. Some intertwine, but most do not.
My heart keeps telling me it should not be like this! But I am only one person and I have failed! It is a far bigger task then I could ever hope of taking on alone and winning.
So now my self-preservation instinct has kicked in and I feel I need to “drop” some of them….leave them by the road side to “fend for themselves”….because I am just one human….I have no control over them and I do have a life that should be worth living without having to worry about if I did the right thing.
Wondering if they liked their Christmas gift or their birthday card….did they really care that I remembered them. If I “forgot” about them, would they really care.....
It's Me,
The thing about relatives, whether they're by blood or by paper, or even in your heart, is that they are ALWAYS there. They are still another physical body that you can turn to in a time of crisis, usually regardless of how close you are.
-A
I dunno, Ergo. Obama and his folks would have to fight really hard, and there's a lot on his plate already, because he's got to get us out of this insane war as well as struggle with an unprecedented national debt, unprecedented unemployment and general all around misery and loss of rights.
What I really fear is that it goes wayyyyy deeper than just the current administration. I'm afraid that as much as I am for Obama, if he does get in there, while he will clean up some of the damage, much of it is permanent and in those cases he'd be little more than a figure-head.
With his hands tied by people way bigger than he is (and what will doubtless be a conservative chokehold on the nation regardless of who is president,) even the people who did support him will lose faith in him and then four years later we will be stuck once again with another Bush administration under a different name.
Sometimes I am really, really afraid.
goodnight sdock sweet dreams
It's Me

Amyranth...that is not the case...I firmly believe that some of them would not have a clue as to how to help....or even if they would want to help...or it would be "something" they need to do.
I appreciate the kind words...I just do not feel the love anymore.
Wondering if they liked their Christmas gift or their birthday card….did they really care that I remembered them. If I “forgot” about them, would they really care.....
I bet you they loved them.
-A
It's Me
Amyranth...do you know what it feels like to be in the same room as your mom and you start crying and there is no hug....
Does she understand or is it just because we have ALWAYS been like that.
You don't know how much I really wanted that hug.
Amyranth...that is not the case...I firmly believe that some of them would not have a clue as to how to help....or even if they would want to help...or it would be "something" they need to do.

That is truly a sad situation It's Me.
But you did say yourself, you are a person with your own life to live.
"You have to do for yourself, because nobody else will."
At the end of the day, you have to look out for you.
-A
Here's another worrisome thing going on. Bush has demanded that Russia pull out of their military strike on Russia.
Well, yeah.
But, what if they don't? What can we do? Well if Murrika says something and the Russians don't listen, two things happen: One, The Russians become The Bad Guys in all the movies again.* Two: Murrika loses face. The country looks bad. I mean, we'd have to do something to enforce that, right? Bush ain't gonna just stand there and stomp his feet.
But the thing is, HI, OUR MILITARY IS A LITTLE TIED UP RIGHT NOW, K THX!!!! So we'd be pretty much powerless if Russia was like, "Yeah? Make me!"
It's an all-around bad situation.
*What I really mean to say is that America will be force-fed the typical anti-Russian propaganda that we saw all during the 80's, and another "cold war."
hello It's me
you know I always have time for friends and family but sometimes some of them always seem to be taking and never giving. Or you feel the reliance is upon you to always be the one who is there for them, though you feel they are never really there for you.
In situations like that I think it is reasonable to turn a little and focus on yourself, you seem to feel your identity is inextricably tied with theirs.
It is like that, it's just what happens, links may become lesser but they are still there. There comes a time when people do grow and move on and the closeness that was there changes to something new.
It's not a failing, it's just what happens
You obviously care a lot, and it's not like you are dropping them, it's just that you are now living your life
did that at all make sense?
It's Me
Amyranth...please do not get me wrong....I grew up in a household that met our "needs"....clothes, food, roof over our heads. What was missing was the emotional bond.
I really do not remember my younger siblings as babies...only when they started to walk and talk. I wonder why that is...why don't I remember them.
If you cannot rely on your family than rely on your new family, your boyfriend, friends and others.
Family isn't always perfect, and it can't always supply what we need.
and once again
it's not you failing, you live for you
if you love something set it free, if it comes back it's yours, if it doesn't it never was
Also, you may or may not notice, but under Bush's administration, Murrika kinda more or less illegally invaded and occupied a country too. So really, Putin can just turn around and say, "You're one to talk, dick."
I know I shouldn't have refreshed, but I did.
It's Me:
I'm really sorry about the position you're in. All I can say is that I know how part of you feels. I've been there, and it's a place I don't like to go back to, you know?
It's hard when it happens with friends, even harder when it happens with your own blood. And I'm not exactly sure what to say, but I think you'll figure it out. I think something will happen and you'll say, "Oh, yeah. There you are.
But, in the meantime, you know you have us here if you need another outlet or if you don't feel there's anyone else you can unload on. :)
I hope everything turns out okay for you.
I, like a moron, said:
Bush has demanded that Russia pull out of their military strike on Russia.
Georgia. Clearly I meant Georgia.
I are smart and aware. ;D
It's Me
ergoproxy....I guess since I am laying it all out....we were never really close. I was close to one simbling.....we played and did things together....but the others...total of 4....were never close. We knew we were related, but that is just about all.
So now years later..it is just the same.
It's me how much younger? were they. I don't remember much of my brother as a toddler at all, we are 4 years apart
it's just your memeory, it doesn't mean you didn't care. Recall is different for different people
It's Me
*grabs tissue to dry eyes*
I knew I could get a lot of feed back from you all.
mustard is better....I hear you and thank you for being there and listening.
yeah it's hard to be all "get out" if you did the same thing
hello.
i've been reading along.
it's me, it's perfectly alright to decide to focus on what you need, to reduce your interactions with your extended family. your own mental, emotional and physical well-being comes first.
and those family members that truly love you, that you have a true connection with, they will understand and be patient with while you recharge your batteries and reconnect with yourself.
they are your family, it's true, but you also have a responsibility to yourself.
Anon, when I read what you wrote I thought to myself 'are we the same person. Did I just write that and I don't remember dong it?" I know I didn't write it but I know exactly what you are saying. I'm there. I don't know what else to say except that I hope it gets better for you :)
It's Me

I would have been about 7 and 9. You would think I would remember a bit more about them being a baby.

to be all Dr Phil:
deal with what IS now, it's easy to get caught up in why's and what should or could have been, but you need to manage your life.
That is the most important thing. And if you are feeling a bit emotionally weakened, then find strength in those who you know care about you.
It's something that you'll always think of, but don't let it affect your decisions now, do what is best for you, and if your family sees you living a strong authentic life, it may be what they need to see you differently.
And if they don't , well it will be their loss. As you seem to be a very loving and sensitive person.
It's Me
toujours...what is a connection?....maybe there was no connection to begin with....
How long do you continue on?
Shouldn't there always be a connection reguardless of what is happening? Maybe the connection was never there to begin with? What do you have to work with then, but run yourself down wondering....wondering....wondering
I hear you about if a person takes a step out.....but if there was nothing there to begin with...doesn't it make it harder to continue?
Yes, ergoproxy. The next administration can change it back if they care enough to do it.
It's Me
Hey, hey.. listen, don't worry about it.
On my mother's side of the family the only person I really feel close to is my grandmother.
There are six other grandkids, and I barely keep in contact with them at all. Even my Aunts and Uncles are rarely ever talked to.
On my father's side, I don't talk to anyone. There's one aunt that reaches out to chat once in awhile, but there's mostly nothing to say.
I think maybe what Ergo said was right. You need to find outlets where people care for you, are willing to give affection, react to your good will and nature, and appreciate you for it.
And I think you'll need to do what I had to do a few years ago, and just accept your family for who they are, and how they are.
And yes, I know how it feels to want hugs when you're sad. That's why I have a boyfriend who really likes to snuggle.
-A
Well, I am off to watch the X Files, where the conspiracy and insider dictatorship are fake, and where the people fighting against it are hot and powerful, instead of one measly, lonely voice of an angry, powerless island gal.
Whole world's goin' to crap.
Night all!
10:34, so much of the damage will already have been done. And I think I disagree, anyway. I think that it goes deeper than the president. But, that's just me.
it's me
memory is a funny thing, at 7 or so you would have had a lot more things to be thinking about and doing, the momories are probably there, but if you ahve no frame of reference to trigger them they are hard to recall.
Memory needs to be used to be effective, the more often you recall something the easier it becomes to recall.
You've probably just never had reason to recall them much, the kids would have always been there, as background in your life, you probably just knew, never really needed it at the fore front of your mind.
If you want to try and recall look at old pictures, have an older relative tell you stories.
Our memory is like a huge filing system, if it's apparent a memory is not required it is shunted off to a back room under a pile of old boxes to leave room for the more needed stuff.
We have so many stimuli every day that a lot is filtered, some goes straight to filing without ever being a conscious thought.
so apart from a tiny science lesson (sorry that's how I explain it to students) I hope that helps you not feel bad about it
And if Obama doesn't win, K..... MCain won't try to turn it around either.
It's Me
amyranth...thank you for being here.
*grabs another tissue*
I have been living with this for years and yes, maybe it is time to back off a bit and still feel OK about it.
Oh btw you are not alone.... I hear your voice!
I left you a comment K.... Please check. Oh and I have never seen an episode of X files! ever! Is it good?? You seem to like it alot.
it's me, if there is nothing there to begin with, then perhaps, someday when you are ready to, you might be able to create a connection, if you want one at that time.
but what is important is not mourning the loss of what you wanted with your family, what you never had. what is important is to become your best self, and find what is good with what you do have with your family.
there's no such thing as a total loss. for now, just like ergo said, you need to focus on yourself, and cherish whatever good your family has given you -- no matter how small, no matter how isolated, those gems are still yours. take them and go out into your life.
if they can't keep up with you, then they must fall behind -- that will be their loss. it sounds harsh, but even a temporary period of isolation can help you put things into a better perspective, and help you break out of your circular thoughts.
night K enjoy the x-files, fiction is so much easier than real life
it's time for lunch so I'm going to head out and sit in the warm sunny spot and have a read and eat
back in a while
Hello TJ!!
Just to throw in my two cents:
Memory doesn't truly begin to develop until you reach school age, around 7. Most people have "flashes" of memory from times before then. As for full-blown memories, they don't come along until your brain develops more.
I don't think many, or any, of us remember events from our younger days. That's normal development.
What's happened, It's Me, to make you feel this way? Did something occur recently to spark these feelings? I'm sorry you're going through a tough time.
Hey all, how's it going?
It sure is, Ergo. That's for damn sure. I just get so worked up; I mean, it's the whole world. It's human rights. The environment, the world. This thing, this administration is so frigging huge and destructive.
Anon, it was a fantastic show: fun, witty, scary, cheesy, poignant, and with hot people. ^_^
I saw the comment, thank you very much. Made me feel nice in my rebel places. :D
I'm a-waitin' for my ice acai to get a little melty. It probably is.
Good night all. :)
hey ergo -- have a lovely lunch en plein air!
It's Me
amyranth...You've probably just never had reason to recall them much, the kids would have always been there, as background in your life, you probably just knew, never really needed it at the fore front of your mind.
I have looked at old pictures and have heard plenty of stories....I guess recalling those memories are something that might not ever happen. Sad, but I need to get over it....if I really think about it, there is really not a lot of childhood memories...
I remember Grandmas' houses and camping, going to school. Maybe some of the memories are not meant to be remembered...
I thought once we were grown...new memories might take shape. There are some great memories, but nothing I thought would happen.
No Problem, It's Me.
And if you feel comfortable with doing it, I agree with you. You don't have to drop them like a sack of bad potatoes, but even just letting go a bit can be very freeing.
And in some cases, they might come to you saying "Hey, you know, we haven't talked in a while... So, how've you been?". You never know.

and thanks anon I always like to check if US politics is like here

toujours said...
it's me, if there is nothing there to begin with, then perhaps, someday when you are ready to, you might be able to create a connection, if you want one at that time.
but what is important is not mourning the loss of what you wanted with your family, what you never had. what is important is to become your best self, and find what is good with what you do have with your family.
there's no such thing as a total loss. for now, just like ergo said, you need to focus on yourself, and cherish whatever good your family has given you -- no matter how small, no matter how isolated, those gems are still yours. take them and go out into your life.
if they can't keep up with you, then they must fall behind -- that will be their loss. it sounds harsh, but even a temporary period of isolation can help you put things into a better perspective, and help you break out of your circular thoughts.
toujours....that just might be the words I need to follow....thank you
Ergo are you in europe?? American politics is complicated. I don't alwys get it but I know when something bad happens... I learn alot from he internet.... from the people here too

amyranth...that is what I am hoping for.
Oookay then.
Hello, anybody?
Evening, J. Hope you're doing well.
Hello, Anon, doing some better tonight. And yourself?
It's Me
I need to get off...time for bed...work tomorrow.
Again, thank you for listening to me...and I will take all of your suggestions in.
Sleep tight....good night:)
hello j! :)
it's me, i wish you the best. family issues are the ones that seem to be the most tangled, it's difficult to really hear our hearts when those ties get messed up.
but there is a reason for you to be here, that's very important. don't lose sight of that, and i believe that the rest will eventually fall into place.
I'm boring so let's talk about you. Something happened today that made you smile. What was it?
*waves*
me?
:)
You, happy now? :)
Oh yeah!!!
Goodnight It's Me.
Feel better in the AM!
Hiya J!

Made me smile...well, let's see. My car started (yay!). Raindrop, my younger cat, cuddled with me a lot. Had a semi-pleasant conversation with my mom (check your pulse!). Saw some pictures of someone who makes me happy. Remembered talking to L on her cell yesterday when she said, "I can't find my cell phone." (I told her, "You're on it." We laughed.)
There might have been other things, but they're not coming to mind. What made YOU smile today, Anon?
I'd like to dedicate my first place smiley face to It's Me.
this made me smile today:
my sister (sisterlor) decided i needed to see her coffee station, and so she sent me a picture of it.
it was diagrammed out with labels and arrows, very thorough, very professional, very silly.
:)
Hi anon *waves*
The ending of The Mole made me smile.
Good night everyone. I'm wishing you all pleasant dreams and a joyful day when you wake up.
Hi Amy, TJ, J

Hi Amy, BC, Carrie, TJ. Goodnight Pumpkin.

Goodnight Pumpkin!
Hiya BC!

Plenty of reasons to smile when you look, huh? Every little thing counts sometimes.
Me? Well, the rain and hail eventually stopped. (I had doubts...) It's quiet here now and I'm alone. That rarely happens anymore. I had cupcakes! That was nice. Yeah, I'm boring but I own it. ;)
Goodnight pumpkin pie, sweet dreams. Hi carrie
And I just got an extra smile. The same group is here that I spoke to the other night.
quiet and cupcakes are very very very good reasons to smile, 1:26!
