About Me

My Blog

Friends With Benefits

So, following my recent bulletin survey it appears even one such as I, one who has 'lived' a little, seen a lot, and got the t-shirt for some of it... well, it seems I'm still naive. Maybe I shouldn't...

As I've already mentioned to somebody...

Mothers in Egypt.

You're Your Own Harshest Critic?
