That's over a third of my life. Except, of course, that I basically stopped using in 2006. Since I paid to have it forever, I like to know it's there but I don't feel obligated to write in it. Not sure if there is some fancy new notification that tells the remaining 14 of you that I posted, but we'll see ( Read more... )
