Stand by your cyber man?

I think this makes sign 5-honestly I am losing count. But today is election day so  I don’t  care.

Enough.

I never considered pledging a sorority when  I was in college. I knew that I wasn’t sorority girl material for a myriad of reasons, the primary one being that I am not good at group think. I don’t follow along well, I don’t take orders (a pledge week requirement) and  I ask too many questions. [...]
