This facts below are something I learned in my Human Growth and Development class in grad school. Sorry I haven't written in a while. I have finals and am actually having spinal surgery next week. In addition, I'm having to sue the body shop, who's had my van for 3 months, since my car accident. They're refusing to finish and charging more than they promised....CROOKS! Yes, my life has once again become complicated!!! Satan must be threatened by me!!! He's trying to get me down, but with God, I will prevail!!!
