And you write very very well, though you probably won't believe me.<br /><br />I'm much more likely just to stop writing to avoid the worry. My twisted mind believes that no-one can reject me if I have nothing to reject.<br /><br />Its a sad state of Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4042240151520157703.post-27399182746612409992011-03-10T19:00:27.693+02:002011-03-10T19:00:27.693+02:00I think your list is an excellent start, seriously...I think your list is an excellent start, seriously (including the Valium point).
