fortunatelee Hi Rosie, I did have a husband that beat on me. At first it was beating so much - it was more like playful wrestling that soon got worse. I did give him many chances. The scene didn't improve, it only got worse. He didn't stop at beating me, he started...

fortunatelee Nope, I don't look the other way if a person has gray hair. Actually I admire it. Of course, I look at people with an artists eye, so I see the blending of colors and the highlights. It's just wonderful.
