Not much new here except for the dog trouble that I posted about here and here. I have not heard from Cpl Honda since he left for training. I have talked to his girlfriend each weekend though and she talked to him last weekend. I sent him my phone number through Facebook and it is [...]

I wrote about my weekend at juliannah by design. I can not rehash it here. I did speak to Cinderella and Butterfly this weekend. I also talked to Hippie Guy. I was hoping to speak to Cpl Honda but did not get a call. He is training in another country so it is possible that [...]
