Some time ago, somebody recommended the book "Siblings without Rivals" to me. I read it, applied quite a bit of it, and was pretty happy. Admittedly, stuff like that tends to slide away from me when I don't read it, but there's one aspect I've kept in a modified format ( Read more... )

As an aside, I was a very responsible girl and bought plain duct tape instead of the leopard ( Read more... )

I fully realize that I’m going to anger people with this post. I don’t ask you to agree with me, but I do ask that you at least respect me and my opinion.
