40. I really needed this op.

Fri Feb 6, 2015, 02:11 PM

Feb 2015

Was having a tough day. I have been laughing and smiling for the last five minutes. I'm not laughing at the op or anything but the thoughts I am having about someone being anti-teddy and then some of the replies are great. Sometimes something comes along just at the right moment. I was picturing my teddy bears scowling at trinkets. I would hate to mention to the op that my teddy bears are sitting in my room facing one of my fish tanks. No, I don't imagine they are watching. But the cuteness factor starts my day off with a smile. I am very pro-smile.
