Me ‘n’ Her AuntieGoldie: OK, this is more of a comment than a question. I would just like to say that there is nothing wrong with using various electronic means to research potential/current/ex-significant others. If it weren’t for Lexis-Nexis, I wouldn’t know that two out of my three ex-boyfriends are now married. Care to support… Continue reading The Intraview's Post Game Interview

Moving On
I lost my best friend last week in the World Trade Center incident.
