A life full of adventure is a life full of many decisions. The ones that turn out wrong give you better experience to make better decisions. Don't see how many decisions you can get out of. See how many you can get into. That's where the adventure is .. . . . Jim!

How can we talk about emancipation without sounding like we are trash talking our own pple. I honestly think no one owes you anything. They don't owe us,1K, 10K, 300k, a gift is a gift. Just take it, your 700K investment in a wig is your bzness. He gets a 2K haircut and its ok.
