I read about them and decided that you are quite solid with at least 5 of the 7. And you are working on "Chastity" and "Temperance" so really, Reya, you are better off than most of us. <br /><br />I am not saying how many I need to work on.Kerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15281288495129054688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2607471777855707790.post-69318491727369818182010-10-05T22:51:16.246-04:002010-10-05T22:51:16.246-04:00I had my first i-Pad experience last month.

Now, having played with the i-Pad for a while, I find that I'm not lusting after one quite as much as before (though turning the pages on an i-Pad e-book is such fun, it still tempts me, just a little).Sandra Leighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12052047359365369942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2607471777855707790.post-17821066579019697312010-10-05T20:15:48.075-04:002010-10-05T20:15:48.075-04:00i like the feeling of wanting what i can't hav...i like the feeling of wanting what i can't have. it brings my dna to life. i feel the helix coil inside me. i look and think what ifs and what evers and look away before anything hits the fan. sometimes i carry regrets. no i ask them to visit to be really honest. then i can replay the past becoming present. i live now to bring goodness. that means i have to assess moves, possibilities. just once, i think i'd like someone else to do that for me and move me on as you mention in your post. unlocking! stevenstevenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14132104804524716898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2607471777855707790.post-91401348838914091152010-10-05T16:46:59.814-04:002010-10-05T16:46:59.814-04:00I think the Golden Rule pretty much sums it all up...I think the Golden Rule pretty much sums it all up for me.
