Knowledge is power, but too much knowledge might cloud your judgement and stop you from enjoying life in the here and now.  |
Yeh, that's what I thought might be going through your mind. Would like to say all the 'stat' things to you Garinda re. this point, but sure you know 'em all. In the meantime, just keep on being your very special 'charismatic' self..remember our conversation on this quality you possess ? Only a few people possess it. xx
