  7. You are so totally fascinating : ).
    Is there anyone alive who has not been stung by a bee? Doesn't that just happen to every one when you are little and you play outside? I read your bachelor post but I couldn't add anything interesting to it, since I didn't watch. I tried to like it for you Pumpkin, but it just never happened for me.
