I can't wait to continue to read on about your life's happenings. <br /><br />By New York apartment standards, I have a feeling that apartment would be fetching close to a million by now, even with the pimp living next door or heck especially for that reason.<br /><br />Even though happier times may feel that they are behind you. They are not, once again you will be happy and I have that sincere and warmest wish for you. You are a great man and know that you deserved incredible things in life and that one day they will come to you.Dianahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01181957031737197238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24194846.post-88948008865691630472006-11-27T07:16:00.000-06:002006-11-27T07:16:00.000-06:00Sounds fun. <br /><br />My friend told me a story last week: Picture this if you will - She's staying with her fella in his ground floor flat - and she sleeps in the buff. She gets up to get a drink in the morning and looks up to see the bin men staring in at her... <br /><br />And she did just what your naked lady did - she waved at them.<br /><br />Sometimes she really makes me proud!TopChamphttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03377737494575644509noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24194846.post-82484082421934446722006-11-27T05:31:00.000-06:002006-11-27T05:31:00.000-06:00Oh I like this story..can not wait for it to continue.
