    What bothers you and why? Lately, I’ve been very annoyed by women who refuse to respect the choices of other women. Like mind your own business and worry about yourself ladies.

  • A Font of Useless Information

    On what subject(s) are you an authority? The one subject that I can consider myself to be an authority on is history. I can pull out a story about a historical figure in a heartbeat. Like Queen Joanna I of Naples who ran a whorehouse from one of her castles. Or King Henry VIII’s sister…
