The above poster has it right, caregivers tend to attract these types. What a shame she's lashed out at you again. You are better off without her.<br />And btw, we are safe, our addiction is crafty stuff.

Don't have time for that kind of stuff. My life is jam packed and I only have room for the good stuff.<br /><br />LLindsay Teague Moreno | 5ive Photohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13875820550954674061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12812215.post-4815795275091254722009-11-19T09:44:53.229-07:002009-11-19T09:44:53.229-07:00Amen!
