September 1, 2011

A popular book taught us that men are from Mars and women are from Venus.  If that’s true, then I guess you could say that remodels only happen on earth – which is the planet directly between Mars and Venus.  More clearly defined, a remodel is that unique creature that is 100% emotion and feeling [...]
