I know personally, when I went astray, at least the desire to change came from the fact my mother loved me, among others. According to Van, and many others here, the FACT that you can't prove she loved you makes you a kookie, hallucinogenic, brain-dead hippie. I think it's quite plausible and under...

Wise decision Mikey. Everyone would do well to heed my sage advice. The problem is compounded by the increased risk of food poisoning. When you stuff a bird, you put bread cubes into a raw turkey.
