I Know Exactly Where That Is!
My mind, it is like a steel trap. Or maybe a colander, only collecting what it wants to catch. Or maybe… The other day, daughter number two “accidentally” broke daughter number four’s glasses. The break was at a spot weld, so there...

Pillow Talk That Sticks

Rank: Does It Matter, Or Doesn’t It?
Please excuse me here, I’m on a little rant. I hope that I don’t offend anyone, or start some sort of argument. Andi’ll kill me if I do… I was just reading over my Facebook page, and the American Forces Network Europe (AFN) status...
