i'm sorta wondering where the plunger is ..
btw .. been there done that .. and i was a lost cause .. for many years ..
so i'll say more than hope is needed .. wont go into all the things that helped me survive and recover .. but if you've only got hope then its not enough .. :(

LOVE IT .. !! ..
i'm a bit of a lead foot myself .. and come from a family of rally drivers .. did a bit myself back in the day .. so 108mph .. if you got caught in australia doing that you'd lose your licence .. thats 173km/hr btw .. actually you'd probably not just lose your licence but be put in jail .. !! ..
my car has the sport feature as well .. must give it a go ..
wish me luck that i dont get caught .. !! ..
this is a great pic btw .. and yes .. definitely satisfies the challenge .
in so many ways .. !!!! .. ;)

hmmmm .. i'm missing the point .. but thats probably just me ..
like if you want to learn judo .. dont you have to get the gear .. and karate .. !! ..
and of course when you need a helmet you probably need the leather gear too .. for protection ..
so now i'm wondering if you are saying dont ride a bike .. !! .. ;)
i have now thoroughly confused myself .. and possibly you as well ..
its a great pic btw .. :)

being a kid

dark and sombre and a real sign of the times ..
and sad .. we have become so scared these days of bad things happening . and we pass that fear onto our kids .. its good to be careful .. but being afraid i feel isnt the most helpful place to be .. fear breeds anxiety which we all know can be responsible for so many illnesses .... :(
