jaylex, I'm glad you and your FI have made a decision together. Decision making is scary and very difficult. However, while the church has made role models of you as an example of two people in love, getting married, INSTEAD of "living in sin", I can't help but say that I am worried about the OTHER ... |

My husband and I asked WF to make a diamond and sapphire eternity band back in 2008 for my wedding band.

Aw shiny, sorry to hear that you still can't keep much down. Have you tried oatmeal? If you can keep that down maybe you can get more nutrients from that. I guess some cereals have lots of nutrients too. Ever since I started reading Eat to Live, I've been trying to eat only n... |
