    STUFF YOU JUST CAN’T MAKE UP… Chapter 1

     
     
    Yesterday I needed a laugh and luckily I got it via an email from my cousin TD. Usually I give them a look over and then toss them without forwarding on. Not because I think that they have no merit, but I try to keep email down to a minimum so as to not clog up the mailboxes of others and only rarely pass them on. But this one was really good and since I was already working on a series of too good to be true stories, this one seemed to fit right in and albeit not by my hand, I think I will make this one exception.
    True or not; enjoy.

    Those are great...   Hey... you mentioned you like my music.  They are the  group called IL DIVO.  I like just about every style of music... but I really do love when voices can go to such powerful lengths.  Hope your day is going well.. Vallerie

    Nothing wrong with guilty pleasures, I'm sure I'll get to it.  But the writing wasn't to my standard!  Wish I could just blurt without editing but I can't.  Sigh.  Think there's an Addicted to Self-Editing group out there?  :)
