I have many different ailments.As you will see on my page.I ache & have pain on a daily basis..which I have learned to live & deal with.I am in general a happy person.I love to make people smile/laugh.In return I love for someone to make me smile/laugh..As they say;"What goes around comes around" Treat others as you'd like to be treated!! Well that's me..The one thing on internet or even on my cell phone that REALLY upsets me is "CHAIN LETTERS"..I so hate them & will delete.We have enough in general life to worry about without stupid things added to our worry..LOL..I have been on this website for over 29 months now..I am happy & blessed to have met some special people..I have become more than DS friends with some...Maybe some day a DS meeting spot..that would be nice.. Also, my Hubby Hates GlITTER and TINSEL(icicles)..So we don't do GlITTER .........:)
