blood lines
I don’t understand why they can’t market hair removal products to women without being utterly condescending.

More Ways To Help
[readermail] Hi Pam! It’s been awhile, but you and your readers were so helpful after the San Diego firestorm crisis, that I just had to pass this on. Our little library benefited by 63 selections from our ‘Wishlist’ and we will be moving into our new facility in November. We will never forget the kindness your…
