There are no rules
The older I get, the more this sinks in. There are no rules. There are only self-imposed limits. There are only social mores. There are only those things that we judge ourselves by that we think others will judges us by a the same time..
Am I missing something? In all my activities honorable and unhonorable, I've yet to hit a hard and fast wall of behavior. I've yet to come to a point at which anybody reaches their 'limit'. I've yet to see anyone, and I mean anyone, come to a point… Read More

I'm not very adept at these things. I can't remember (or figure out) how to invite you as a friend, so that we can correspond privately. If you can do it...or if I have actually done it...then you can send me your mailing address or suggest how you would like me to send you the DVD (to keep, if you so choose). Thank you.
How is this POSSIBLE?! lol
Apparently it's just a wing. o_O
