  1. Hi Carolyn,

    This is my first blog. What a weird thing. Now, how many people can see what I write. A friend told me yesterday that a person at work committed suicide. She was upset but somehow I just thought they out of the shit. Is that a weird thought.

  2. You are too funny liz...everyone that visits the blog can see your comments...one of my friends from abroad actually told me i have a comment!
