Last night I was on twitter and facebook ( yes not really a big stretch for me- considering that my son admonished me and said, the reason for all my looming deadlines is because I'm addicted to twitter and facebook.) I could only HANG my head in shame because this little 11 year old has me figured out to a T... but I digress. A couple I know, who lived together for five years and just tied the … [Read more...]
