Ryan Jackson Date: 8/24/2011 7:58:00 PM Hey Carolyn, no it's for one person only. Sorry for the confusion. Hey every animal that we encounter looks out for us. We just don't know it sometimes! Im sorry I confused you, English slang babe. Peace to you xx Login to Reply

Carolyn Devonshire Date: 8/24/2011 3:10:00 PM Hi Ryan, I had a cat once that always seemed to be looking out for me. You have a great contest theme. When you say "duo date," do you mean you wanted us to write with another person? I wrote my entry alone. Perhaps I need to get some content from another writer? Love, Carolyn Login to Reply
