I’ve created a few sub-pages under Top Ten Greatest things…look over to the right to check them out!
Well…the title was supposed to be ‘This Made Me Giggle’…but the damn computer flipped into Mandarin, so i decided to leave it as it was (hope your comp has mandarin font loaded!). Anyway…this did make me giggle… “The time not to become a father is eighteen years before a war.” E. B. White (1899 – [...]
