I can’t exercise for long periods. When I get back from a run, my girlfriend usually asks if I’ve forgotten something.<br />
I used to be addicted to swimming but I’m very proud to say I’ve been dry for six years.
I don’t think women should be allowed to have kids after 40.<br />
40 kids is way too much by any standard.<br />

A woman stood inside the<br />
front door, her arms full of<br />
coats. Four small children<br />
scurried around her.<br />
Her husband, coming<br />
down the stairs, asked<br />
why she was standing<br />
there.<br />
“Here,” she said, handing<br />
him the coats, “This time<br />
you put the children into<br />
their coats, and I’ll go<br />
honk the horn.”<br />

“WE WERE SO FORTUNATE TO FIND CINDY! After an initial fiasco with another very<br />
popular realtor Cindy Powell was recommended highly and she completely fit the bill! She<br />
always came prepared with a wealth of relevant information, she fielded all of our questions<br />
with patience, she was consistently timely and professional, she was able to make superb<br />
recommendations on other services we required and she stayed in touch without us ever needing<br />
to think about it.” — Caren Louise, June <strong>2023</strong><br />
