  3. It is the same now. I hate that I see this stuff with work everyday. Makes me want to move to the far out country where the worst thing that happens is cow tipping...unfortunately I think these things are everywhere now.

    Cute Header on Eryn's page by the way. Now that i have my computer back I need to work on my photoshop to possibly make a personalized header.
