OMG I'm at home... if you know me, you know I don't miss work... loyal... um not really... just anal...lol... I also never post about "it"people or events... However, I thought...

Some people make bad decisions.
Some people make good decisions.
 At the end of the day the point is 
They made a decision. " - laQuin
