freedomg I am sorry to say I would most likely have to walk away from both people. That is a level of betrayal that is just too hard to move past and still remain in either relationship. For my own sanity I would have to forgive them but then I would forget them as...

Hide their eyes?

celticeagle @celticeagle (181148) • Boise, Idaho 26 Dec 11

World without cellular phones

campos22 @campos22 (47) • United States 15 Dec 11

It seems we've all become so dependent on our cell phones, but it was not long ago that we seemed to operate fine without them. How bad or good would we really be if we woke up tomorrow and nobody's cell phone worked?
