Giggles ;) I don't actually remember her name, friend of my roommate who I was with when accident happened. A traumatic impacting event for him no doubt. I didn't know I was still broken, thought I was ill. Broken I can work with <3 xomo

I had a great mechanic to put the bones back together, just now identifying that rattle (it didn't have a name before) Thank you Lawrence xomo!

A true chuckler, BUT also words that I relate to. Broken happens. You certainly have a knack for short lines, high impact! Poetry hugs ... CayCay
