• raerae, what exactly do you mean when you inform us that you "did a study"? Whom did you study? Where did you conduct the study, anyway? The French Quarter during Gay Pride week? Maybe the Bourbon Pub on ladies' night, LOL. Look - there's no substantive correlation between an absent father and a woman's sexual orientation. Too many variables exist to state an unequivocal cause-and-effect relationship between the two. It just doesn't work that way.

• yup the photos is of my darling puppy. Unfortuntately he passed away almost two years ago - it's still something I mourn over as he was my best friend, constant companion, protector and gave the best nose-kisses - eskimo style - it was our nightly before-bed goodnight ritual.
