Hey, you. What are you doing here? I didn't know you were on here. *smile* I haven't been on here in 150 years or so. I had to mass-delete this morning since I had messages since ... um, ur, OK, since July 2010. I had almost 10,000 messages. I had to start over. Otherwise, this folder would have been a lost cause. *smile*
Warm regards,
Sahar Husseini

I also think that stones can provide healing to us. Stones can also
ballance things out.
Warmly,
Melissa and PJ Green
Don't ask God to make your life easier, ask him to make you a stronger
