And of course making that decision involved every decision I've made in life, because I'd been having fun instead of saving for the future, and now I needed money to save my baby's blood, because why else would they advertise everywhere, if it wasn't essential? But it's not. Just like most things you spend money on during the first year.<BR/><BR/>Uncool,Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06473298272771049857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6389679439326917475.post-22887268476448620652009-01-28T17:01:00.000-05:002009-01-28T17:01:00.000-05:00Hmm ...
