In the meantime I’ve had opportunity to… Read more
And the tide rolled out… Posted on April 23, 2008 By pamela It seems that for the last several weeks the tide has come in and gone out stronger and higher day by day.

It’s all THEIRS Posted on April 15, 2008 By pamela Well, if there’s any money today, it’s all theirs. And all along you thought it was the IRS.

That’s how things have been or have seemed in… Read more
