The dilemma of the month...

He speaks in 5-7 word sentences. I figure he has a vocabulary of over 300 words. I've just found out that he is also starting to add (1+1 and 2+2 he knows for certain). I ( Read more... ) -

Carbon credits - the modern version of indulgences
A little history lesson:

Introspection
My path is changing. I don't know where it's going at this point - I've been told I'm croning, that the fae have accepted me, and many other things. I still don't know what is going on.
