  2. I never had a person I consider my best friend either. I do have good friends.

    And I don't know your age but age is what sexually freed me.
    I say how I want and when without hesitation.

  3. I love salsa dancing! Haven't done it in awhile, but my hips are moving even as I type!

    I feel you on your grandmother. Mine died in 2002, and I miss that woman daily, especially this time of year or when my son does something funny (which is daily).
