My mother always told me that a change is as good as a rest. It is as true today as it was when I was growing up. My non-scientific poll – I asked myself – leads me to the following conclusions. (more…)

They just went against the Creator, the one who only had to speak and it happened, and all they could think about was; don’t look at us we aren’t looking our best.
