If you could do it all over again, would you? Why? Why not? (oh, and you’ll have to tell us what ‘it’ is)

I would definitely marry my husband all over again. Why? Because he is the best thing to ever happen happen to me. He treats me great, is a hard worker and I don't have to ever wonder whether or not he loves me.

Four for Friday

Q1 - Crime: Is there a crime, which if it wasn't illegal, you would gladly commit?
No, A crime is still a crime.

Q2 - Immigration: According to recent figures, the conflict in Iraq has forced over 2,000,000 Iraqi citizens to fee the country. Most are stuck in limbo in neighboring countries like Syria and Jordan, while a few (up to 12,000 for the year 2008) are allowed to seek asylum here in the United States.

NO WAY NO HOW!

Heads or Tails #23

WHO WOULD YOU LIKE TO MEET?

Well, having worked in Hollywood at a job where entertainment people came in a lot, I have met many. Most are just nice, some are total jerks, and one singer from Vegas... well, we were not allowed to look at her when she passed, otherwise we would be fired. Weird, huh?

So I would actually like to meet my brother that I've never met. I spoke to him on the day of my dad's funeral about 32 years ago, and he promiced he was coming out to visit. I've not heard from him or been able to find him since.
