Another Way for Janay
It’s amazing how one story can provoke so many opinions and questions. I’m not usually ambivalent on any topic but this one really has me thinking.

Ironically, the harshest judges are those who have never experienced infidelity. … [Read more...] about Rebuild Or Revenge – The Choice is Yours

Sure Signs You Are Being Lied To…Again
Since pants don’t EVER catch on fire, and noses won’t actually grow, it can be extremely frustrating when trying to determine whether or not someone is pulling the wool over your eyes.
