Anderson © 2007 I wasn't looking for a man when I met him. In fact, I had sworn off men.

Seems that I am always in a quandary; so maybe you all could help me with this one. Back to my current light reading, The Sociopath Next Door. According to the cultural practices of Eskimos, sociopaths are often pushed off the edged of the ice when no one...
- My Life Comes Down to Some Simple Percentages...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/LaptopCRAZYLady/496424I am reading a fascinating book called The Sociopath Next Door. Now I know what you're all thinking. Yes, this book really does exist. It's not a figment of my terminally sarcastic sense of reality or not.

Last seen somewhere between Divorce Lane & No Victims Here Road. If found please call: 555-0033 I've been there before, I thought. Maybe someone found it by now. I had to find...
- Return to Theydontgetithttp://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/LaptopCRAZYLady/494075Return to Theydontgetit Ann E, Anderson © 2007 I swore that I wouldn't. I swore that I wouldn't go there again.

Anderson copyright © 2007 I just returned from a trip to Theydontgetit, never wanting to visit again! It is filled with thieves and murders, rapists and child molesters, war mongers and politicians.

Anderson copyright ©2007 She hear the sirens echoing in the distance and a fragment of her consciousness knew they were for her. She only vaguely remembered calling the police.

- What Shape is Integrity?http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/LaptopCRAZYLady/492291What Shape is Integrity? What shape is integrity? Is it round or square? Animal or human?

Anderson © 2007 Several weeks ago I let my children buy a dog to help them heal wounds that naturally incurred from my pending divorce and traumatic change from life as they know it.
