    ooohhh pretty.....a resurrected thread...lol

    my family was studied with by a special pioneer couple... they were childless... but I am sure they brought lots in the cold north of AK.

    ...my family was mom, dad,,...and us 3 kids...

    dad died "faithful" ....

    mom still a dub...

    middle brother never dunked.... married a non dub...their child not a dub...

    little brother never dunked...married, divorced....never to dubs...kids not dubs

    I left...

    ps... besty:

    Best thing sice I came to Manhattan Beach was getting a cell phone with 666 in my number :-) LOL

    my cell number ends in 666... i love it.... was a clean number...no one ever wanted it...so I dont get calls for other people who used to have it..
