 Coping With Loss: Writing A Book Coping With Loss: Writing A Book by Frank Kermit Have you ever considered writing a book? The book could be about the life of the person you lost. The book could be about your life, and how who or what you lost was a major part of it. The book could be a cautionary tale about appreciating what you got before it is gone. The book could be a warning to others so that they do not have to experience the loss you did. The book does not have to be a serious novel. The book could be a children's storybook with an important lesson. That part is up to you. Books have a page where you can dedicate it to your loss.
There are a lot of ways to keep the memory of your loss alive. If you like to write, a book is one of them. You do not even need a publisher. You can self publish your book using print-on- demand sites, or make it a PDF file for people to buy and or download on your own online site. Think about it. -Frank Kermit Dedication Page of From Loser To Seducer: The Story of Frank Kermit This book is dedicated to: Gary Johnson (May 11,1939 - December 18, 2006) I first met Gary in college. He had come back to school as a mature student (age 50+). Despite the age difference, we had become good friends, and I think of him as a mentor about life, while I was his mentor in school. He had lived quite a life for himself, as a road manager for an artist named Chubby Checker, and made a living for himself for many years in the downtown Montreal nightlife and bar scene as a club owner and bartender. When I had met him, he was retired from that life and had gone back to school to pick up what he had missed the first time around. He gave me an insider’s perspective of his world, with a non-judgmental view of my world. After college, we ended up in university together in the same program. He had to stop going to school after the first few terms due to ill health that included two strokes. In September 2005 I went to see Gary to hand him a copy of this book with his dedication. After that, I moved city. It would be the last time I saw him. He died three months later. I miss our time together.  Sign Up For Frank Coaching To Learn How To Cope With Loss

 Coping With Loss: Setting Up A Memorial Coping With Loss: Setting Up A Memorial by Frank Kermit Setting up a Memorial can, sometimes easy the burden of grief. It means putting some of your focus on how you want your loss to be remembered. A memorial can take different forms. A statue or shrine in your own home. A symbol set up at your local place of worship. It can even be a donation in the name of the loss. It can also be a very private act, such as helping a needy family, done in the memory of your loss. If you find a way to set up a memorial, that works for you, that helps bring you peace and healing, then go for it. -Frank Kermit  donate to offer mental health support  Sign Up For Frank Coaching To Cope With Loss  A Tribute to Charles Chuck De Souza 1944 - 2017 A Tribute To Charles "Chuck" De Souza 1944-2017 by Jim Riga It's been almost a week now since I lost one of my best friends, Chuck, and it's extremely tough coping with the realization that I won't see him any more. We had known each other for many, many years since we first met at Pius X in the early 70's. Being in the same English department, and having seen each other quite often in miscellaneous activities, outside school hours, we quickly became buddies .... best friends ... brothers. His memory is still so fresh, so alive in my mind. They say that if you have 1 (one) "best friend" in your life, you're lucky. I'm not talking about acquaintances or just friends. I'm talking about "best friends". Well, I consider myself to be extremely fortunate in my life because I have had three; two of them (Lenny & Chuck) have passed on, and it hurts! It hurts a lot ..... It always will. So, if you are as privileged in life as I am, and you do have a "best friend", someone you can depend on through thick and thin, consider yourself to be one of the rare & lucky people. Not everyone has! Cherish that relationship for the wealth that it offers. Days pass so quickly, that in the blink of an eye, all those years and that relationship can come to an end. Cherish your friend .... Talk to each other .... laugh together ..... because life is short and there is no turning back the hands of time. Rest easy, Charles. A lot of people miss you, Bro. -Jim Riga  Jim Riga and Charles De Souza De SOUZA, Charles “Chuck” Peter - Born on November 4th, 1944, proud husband, father, father-in-law, brother, uncle, teacher/coach of 40 years died peacefully at home on Wednesday, June 14th, 2017 in Whitby at the age of 72 surrounded by his loving wife of 42 years, Alice and his children Jennifer and Jason (loving daughter-in-law Stacey). He will be sadly missed by his brothers Diego (Annette) and Louis (Mandy), his sisters Carmen (late Mathias) and Agnes (late Wavell). He is reunited with his brothers Bonny (Astrid), Marshall (Bertha) and Archie, as well as his parents Manuel and Elizabeth. He will also be survived and missed by his brother and sisters-in-law and his many nephews and nieces. Special thanks to CCAC, Von & VHA Home HealthCare, especially Jennifer , PSW, Corrine, RN and Dr. Azi. By Chuck’s humble wishes, there will be neither visitation nor funeral, and in lieu of flowers, donations to the Canadian Pulmonary Fibrosis Foundation are appreciated (cpff.ca).  Death and Loss  Kissing on a First Date: Rules Kissing on a First Date: Learning To Love The Lip-Lock By Frank Kermit You always go in for a kiss on the first date. A-L-W-A-Y-S. A first kiss isn't just for those dates that went really well from the get go. Sometimes, you might not really even know how you feel about someone after you have been on a full date with them, and it takes a kiss to ignite the chemistry that may be laying dormant underneath what could be confusing or neutral feelings. A kiss is likely not going to salvage a potential relationship that is dead on arrival. However, a kiss can be the start of a potentially passionate connection if all the other elements are already there and just needed the kiss as a trigger for the kiss-boom. In fact, the right kiss, with the right chemistry, can turn the end of a mediocre date into an invitation inside for a nightcap, to a satisfying breakfast in bed the next morning.
Waiting To Kiss Only Works If.... For those people that claim that waiting for a kiss adds mystery and intrigue to a potential relationship, they do not factor in that it only works that way if the two people ALREADY like each other. If even only one person in that couple is unsure, or at the very least feeling neutral about the other person, going in for the kiss forces the issue. If you like drama, going for a kiss, whether it is a good kiss, a bad kiss, or a rejected kiss carries a heck of a lot more drama with it, than not going for the kiss at all.  Friendzoned? The Effects Of NOT Kissing One thing is for sure. If you want to stay "just friends" with someone, then NOT going in for that kiss at the end of a date is a pretty secure way of only ever being a good friend. Being friends can be a good thing, but it is a lousy prospect if you want MORE than just friendship with the person at the center of your heart's affection.  Mistakes Virgins Make The No-Kissing Male Virgin I know one person who said that he never goes in for the kiss because he wants to show a girl that he likes that he respects her. For the record, this particular 26-year-old guy never had a girlfriend in his life. I asked him if he ever considered that the girl might have a different interpretation. He seemed confused. I pointed out to him that unless she understood that he was purposefully not trying to kiss her as an expression of respect, that the girls he dated might have in fact interpreted his lack of action as a lack in romantic interest in them. The look of remorse and realization that took over his face is forever etched in my memory. How To Practice Kissing For people that are new to kissing, or wanting to experiment with kissing techniques, here are some tips.
Tips for Kissing
French Kissing Note: Some people do not like French kissing, so let the other person invite your tongue in for a more passionate lip locking if it is within their scope of comfort, but never force your tongue in.
A word about boundaries... When someone tells you, "I never kiss on a first date" they are expressing a boundary. Respect it. Find out what that person's boundaries are and when a first kiss IS an option. If the person says, "a kiss is OK on a third date"; then back off and wait until the 3rd date. However, there is a catch. You respect the boundary to the point where, if your partner seeks to break his or her own boundary, you refuse to give in. It is a test. If you give in to the kiss, you will likely not see that person again. If trust and safety are important to the person who stated the boundary you will get the kiss, but likely not another date. If you hold out, you are more likely to get to see that person again, and the good night kiss might just be one of those times you end up making that person breakfast the next morning.  Dating Within Social Circles Never Kiss And Tell Finally, when you do kiss (whether it is the lousy-peck-on-the-cheek type or the lasting-wet-passionate-curl-your-toes-shivers-down-spine-tingling-in-the-fingers type of kiss) you never kiss and tell. Never. Not your best friends, not your closest confidant, and not your social networks. The person you kissed may tell, but you never let your lips slip loosely. In time, the more people that learn you keep your kiss history to yourself, the more people will offer to be part of your kiss list history. -Frank Kermit  Sign Up for Coaching To Find Your Next Great Kiss  Happy Father's Day!

(originally an article from the Frank Talks Adult Male Virgin Newsletter) Start Dating Someone That Already Wants You by Frank Kermit Once you and I starting coaching, you may be starting to remember some of those girls who were into you and wanted to date you, but who you never gave a fair chance. These women liked you enough, and you knew it. But you would not be open-minded enough. THIS is one of the reasons you are still a virgin. So here is your tip of the week: EVERY GIRL GETS ONE DATE WITH YOU. If she is into you, you go out on a date or two and GIVE HER A CHANCE. This will accomplish 3 things.
If YOU aren't willing to give a girl a chance, then on some level, you will only focus on women just like you, who would NOT be open enough to give you a chance. However, if you give every girl that likes you a chance, you will start to focus on girls that WOULD give you your chance. -Frank Kermit  Lose Your Virginity With Coaching  Coping With Loss: The First Year of Firsts The Year Of Firsts After Loss by Frank Kermit The first 12 months after a tremendous loss is the hardest. It is the first time you will experience yearly events without the person or element you lost. Your first birthday without the person. Your first holiday season without your previous career. Your first significant day of importance, without your precious pet. Each time you experience a date of significance, without your loss, it is a hard reminder of the events that lead to the loss to beginning. It is important to remember that as each year passes, it WILL get easier. When they say time helps the healing process, that does mean that time will make the hurt go away. What it does mean is that with time comes experience of being able to go through each year after your year of firsts. And with each passing year you get more experience at getting used to your life without your loss. So hang in there. Expect that the first year is going to be the hardest. And, over the years, you will have new people, new jobs, and new pets to cherish and celebrate with you. -Frank Kermit  Sign Up For Frank Coaching To Cope With Your Loss  Kinky Acrostic Poetry *Disclaimer: the views of the author do not necessarily represent the views of Franktalks.com.

This recipe also features the spice Nutmeg. Nutmeg grows on a tree that originates from the Banda Islands in Indonesia, also known as the Spice Islands.  THE BANDA ISLANDS Used as a condiment and for medicinal purposes (sleep aid, upset stomach) it also was a popular (though not very effective) choice in the late 1800’s to early 1900 as a method to attempt to abort a child! The most interesting qualities nutmeg possesses are in its history of use as an intoxicant. Used in the correct dosages it can create in the user a high similar to alcohol or marijuana. In fact the civil rights activist Malcolm X wrote in his autobiography, how he and other prisoners used it in the 1940s as a legal, and easy means of getting high in prison. A low dose of fresh nutmeg (3.5 grams or 1-1.5 teaspoons) can for some people lead to feelings of euphoria, relaxation, elevated mood, laughter and enhancement of the senses. On the island of Zanzibar, off the cost of East Africa, the Muslim religion is predominant so alcohol is banned, but nutmeg is not. Sold in markets for cheap, the spice is used by women to feel relaxed and it is often written about that women take it in their morning porridge the day of a wedding to ensure they are relaxed and sexually receptive.  https://tinyurl.com/ycbnqw8f Photo of Nutmeg The aphrodisiac properties of Nutmeg were studied at “Aligarh Muslim University” in Aligarh, India. The findings of these studies strongly corroborate the traditional uses of nutmeg to improve sexual function and enhance the sex drive. They suggested that “nutmeg may be a safe and effective herbal remedy in treating sexual disorders.” (Tajuddin et al. 2003; Tajuddin et al. 2005). Butternut Squash Gnocchi with Sage & ButterINGREDIENTS 1 1-pound butternut squash 1 tablespoon olive oil 1 12- to 14-ounce russet potato, peeled, quartered 3/4 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese, divided 1 large egg, beaten to blend 1 1/2 teaspoons freshly grated nutmeg 1 teaspoon salt 1 3/4 cups (or more) all purpose flour 1/2 cup (1 stick) butter 2 tablespoons chopped fresh sage Additional grated Parmesan cheese PREPARATION Preheat oven to 400°F. Cut squash lengthwise in half; discard seeds. Place squash halves, cut side up, on baking sheet and brush with oil. Roast until squash is very tender when pierced with skewer and browned in spots, about 1 1/2 hours. Cool slightly. Scoop flesh from squash into processor; puree until smooth. Transfer to medium saucepan; stir constantly over medium heat until juices evaporate and puree thickens, about 5 minutes. Cool. Measure 1 cup (packed) squash puree (reserve remaining squash for another use). Meanwhile, cook potato in medium saucepan of boiling salted water until very tender, about 20 minutes. Drain. While potato is warm, press through potato ricer into medium bowl; cool completely. Measure 2 cups (loosely packed) riced potato (reserve remaining potato for another use). Mix squash, potato, 1/2 cup Parmesan, egg, nutmeg, and salt in large bowl. Gradually add 1 3/4 cups flour, kneading gently into mixture in bowl until dough holds together and is almost smooth. If dough is very sticky, add more flour by tablespoonfuls. Turn dough out onto floured surface; knead gently but briefly just until smooth. Divide dough into 8 equal pieces. Line 2 large rimmed baking sheets with parchment. Sprinkle parchment lightly with flour. Working with 1 dough piece at a time, roll dough out on floured surface to about 1/2-inch-thick rope. Cut rope crosswise into 3/4-inch pieces. Working with 1 piece at a time, roll gnocchi along back of fork tines dipped in flour, making ridges on 1 side. Transfer gnocchi to baking sheets. Repeat with remaining dough. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and chill at least 1 hour. Can be made 6 hours ahead. Keep chilled. Working in 2 batches, cook gnocchi in large pot of boiling salted water until very tender, 15 to 17 minutes (gnocchi will float to surface but may come to surface before being fully cooked). Using slotted spoon, transfer gnocchi to same parchment-lined baking sheets. Cool. Can be made 8 hours ahead. Cover loosely and chill. Cook butter in heavy large skillet over medium heat just until golden, stirring often, 3 to 4 minutes. Add sage; stir 1 minute. Add gnocchi; cook until heated through and coated with butter, 5 to 7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to bowl. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup Parmesan. Serve with additional Parmesan.

Written by: Pillow Talk Gal Can anyone ever find their soul mate? Is there even such a thing as a soul mate? If there is, how do you find them? These are some of the many questions single gals and gents are faced with on a daily basis. If you are a believer in the fact that your happy ending depends on finding that one special person to fulfill you, then you are one of many that believes this depends on finding ‘’the one’’ (an expression that rom-coms have been using as their bread and butter for so many years).
 The Coaching Workbook for Women Time When we’re younger we truly believe we have all the time in the world and are usually in no rush to settle down. As time marches on, we begin to feel like something is missing (this is often brought on by the fact that our friends or people in our inner circle, begin to settle down by choosing mates, getting married or having children). In some women, this is often the point where that infamous biological clock starts to chime so loudly you would swear it’s the default ringtone on your phone. At this point it becomes about finding someone to be with. You go on date after date, hoping to find the person you are supposed to be with. Time after time you put yourself out there (sometimes it’s good, sometimes it’s really horrible and sometimes it’s just downright wrong/uncomfortable). Then, just when you tell yourself you are done looking, the most amazing thing happens. Love seems to find you! You know that saying: ‘’you will find love when you stop looking for it’’, well I can tell you for a fact that it does happen (it turns out rom-coms do get a few facts right). This is the scenario that sometimes happens when you let life runs its course. Now, what do you do if you’re not in your 20’s or 30’s anymore and you find yourself starting over? You want to go back out there and look for love again but dating seems so scary and juvenile. Where do you start? Well, that’s the beauty of dating sites! Technology is for once on your side because now that you have experience with love, you (hopefully) know what you’re looking for. Dating sites can really help you put yourself out there in a way that makes you feel less vulnerable than before (instead of having to either ask someone out or be setup on a blind date). Apps and sites can help you target exactly the kind of mate you’re looking for. Trust Although there is a certain comfort in picking and choosing from many different profiles, you still have the same uncertainty as with the more traditional methods: the trust factor.
This is where Internet dating and traditional dating resembles each other the most. You never really know until you meet and spend time with the actual person. Internet Dating Vs Traditional Dating So in the end, which method is best for finding your soul mate? The answer is either. In today’s society it’s so easy to just click a button and search for love, but ultimately it’s about the time and effort you put in that counts. No magic wands, no fairy god mothers just good old fashioned time, effort and of course faith that eventually love will ultimately find you (whether it’s digital or otherwise). Either way, love is out there and you just have to figure out what works best for you. – Pillow Talk Gal About Pillow Talk Gal Born and raised in British Columbia, she is a professional woman managing a career, marriage, and a teenager.

Sign Up for Frank Coaching Now  To Belly Dance or Not To Belly Dance To Belly Dance Or Not To Belly Dance Written by: Pillow Talk Gal Updated February 28, 2018 When I was asked if I wanted to take part in a belly dancing class and write an article about it, I was really excited. Then, the more I thought about it the more I began to worry a little. I have never really attended any kind of dance class (if you don’t count when I was little) so belly dancing seemed like a bit of a leap. I have to admit though; I was curious and nervous at the same time. The day of my first class had finally arrived and my excitement/curiosity had made me almost an hour early. At least parking was a breeze (I found a spot literally in front of the building). I had some extra time to kill, so I decided to sit in the park right across from the dance studio. Despite the honking of cars and bustle of the city, it was very relaxing and helped to calm my nerves a little bit.
An introduction to the rest of my fellow dancers was given and everyone was gracious and friendly towards me (the new comer). Students had the option to bring their own hip scarves or to choose one from Brooke’s wide, not to mention beautiful, collection. Not having any of my own, I chose one of Brookes’ (I would later find out that she’s owned this particular hip scarf for 8 years- no pressure). Once everyone was ready to begin, we all took our seats on our mats and Brooke began her introduction to what holistic belly dancing is all about.
The class was a safe space where women could share their thoughts and emotions without judgement. After Brookes’ explanations, we all sat in our circle and experienced the openness of touch with one another. We all paired up and gave our partners hand massages using essentials oils (this exercise is practiced openly to learn to relax and give of ourselves but also to receive from others.
We were given a small demonstration as to how to massage the hand then we were off (of course it is clearly mentioned by Brooke that any and all activities done in the classroom are not forced upon students and anytime anyone is not comfortable with something, they are free to sit out with no judgement or issues). This said, I sat back and allowed my partner to give me my hand massage. At first, I was clearly not relaxed as my partner was so keenly able to detect (by simply feeling how tense my forearm was). Then as she calmly told me to relax and enjoy, I found myself surrendering to the calming music playing in the background and found that my massage was actually very pleasant. I found myself letting go of my tension and just giving into the moment. Once we had given and received our hand massages, we gathered in our circle once more and captured what we had taken away from the experience, in our journals. The group then proceeded to share their thoughts on the massage exercise and what they had taken away from the experience. I myself shared how impressed I was with my partner’s ability to almost immediately detect where I was holding all my tension in my forearm (carpal tunnel syndrome- a common job hazard among writers) and therefore she was able to relieve some of the pain.
Poses and stances were front and center and I awoke muscles my body seemed to have forgotten I had. We observed ourselves in the studio mirrors so as to mimic what Brooke was showing us (to the best of our abilities). Brooke gave us a phenomenal example of what we could eventually accomplish with these wonderful moves and she performed for the entire class. It inspired us all and definitely made me want to give it a whirl.  Brooke Megan - Belly Dancing Classes The amazing part is by this time I wasn’t feeling self conscience at all. I was totally comfortable in the environment that Brooke had created for the class. We all moved to the music, holding our belly dance poses and receiving encouragement from each other and Brooke. The aspect that surprised me the most is that as a woman, I have spent the better part of my life trying to make my body giggle as little as possible. Now, I was being encouraged to shake all my little bits as much as I could and it was fabulous! No shame, just pure liberation and enjoyment of the female form in all its glory. As we danced and learned how to move our bodies, time seemed to just fly by. Before I knew it, the class had come to an end and it was time to cool down. Brooke gave each and every one individual high-fives and congratulations on a job well done. It was such a rewarding experience.
I am so looking forward to next week’s class.

 Sign Up Right Now Some personalized birthday ideas are explored in this contributed post.  birthday cake https://tinyurl.com/y9yv3nsx I always try to make sure I plan to perfect birthday for my husband. I know that many of my readers also have partners, and so I wanted to release an article that gives you some great ideas. If you struggle to organise the celebrations for your loved one, you can use this post as inspiration. At the end of the day, you just need to show them that you care. You also need to make them feel special for that one day out of the year. Don’t worry if you haven’t got a lot of money to spend at the moment. A happy birthday isn’t about how much cash you throw at it, and there are always ways in which you can make savings. Search for quirky gifts Regardless of how much you can afford to spend, you’ll want to get your partner something different for their birthday. When all’s said and done, they have cash of their own. So, if they wanted anything from a high street shop, they’d probably go out and buy it. The experts behind Cuckooland's gifts for men say there are more quirky and unique product sites than ever before. So, you need to turn to the internet to find something interesting. You always find better prices online, and there is no reason to spend a fortune. Just select something that he probably hasn’t seen before. Cook his favourite meal Everyone likes to eat a decent meal on their birthday. So, you should remember your partner’s favourite dish and prepare it for his big day. You can also make some cookies or some other dessert he’ll love. Make a list of ingredients a couple of days in advance, so you have enough time to get them from your local store. You can then sit down and eat together during the early evening. You could also give him his gifts at the same time if you have children. They way, they can enjoy him opening the presents too. If you give them to your loved one in the morning, the kids might miss out because they have to go to school. Spend time together Lastly, I advise that whatever happens, you spend some time together. That could mean going out for a few drinks or staying home and cuddling on the sofa. In truth, it doesn’t matter how you spend your time so long as you’re by your partner’s side. When all’s said and done, there are only a few days each year in which you have to make each other feel special. So, plan something that will allow you to achieve that goal. Again, if you have children, you should think about involving them in any activities you organise. As you can see from that advice, you don’t have to work hard to plan the perfect birthday. You just have to make sure you have some time together. Your partner isn’t going to care about gold Rolex watches or anything expensive. If they love you, they’ll feel happy just being in your company. One last thing; make sure both of you book the day off work. You deserve to take a break on such an important date.

Sallis agreed to do so for a donation of £50 to his favourite charity.[26] The work was eventually released in 1989 and Aardman Animations' Wallace and Gromit: A Grand Day Out went on to great success winning a BAFTA award Sallis reprised his role in the the Oscar and BAFTA Award winning films The Wrong Trousers in 1993 and A Close Shave in 1995.
Though the characters were temporarily retired in 1996, Sallis returned to voice Wallace in several short films and in the Oscar-winning 2005 motion picture Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit, for which he won an Annie Award for Best Voice Acting in an Animated Feature Production n 2008, Sallis voiced a new Wallace and Gromit adventure, A Matter of Loaf and Death. His last role as Wallace was in 2010's Wallace and Gromit's World of Invention.[6] Sallis then retired due to ill health, with Ben Whitehead taking over the role.
Thank You Peter Sallis. and Good bye. Updated on March 1, 2018  Mourning A Loss  What if we could PVR our relationship? What if we could "PVR" our relationships? Written by: Pillow Talk Gal The other day I had a thought...what if we could use a PVR to manage our relationships. What I mean by this is, we could use all the features a PVR provides us with but apply those features to our daily lives and relationships. Here's a for instance, the moments that you just would rather forget (like the rude comment your significant other happened to make over breakfast that morning, or the terrible time you had on your date the night before) you could FWD (fast forward). You could just zip through the bad moments like they never even happened and go on with your life. Of course some would say this doesn’t solve anything but sometimes we just need to forget things and move on (a denial button is so much less appealing). Then there are the times you want to relish and hold on to forever. Your first date, first kiss or even the time your better half surprised you with a wonderful, romantic dinner out. These would be the special moments you could either RWD (rewind) or PAUSE. Who doesn’t want to remember the great stuff? Next are those moments you never want to end...for those, you could press "record" and watch them over and over again. There’s the first time you saw the love of your life, or the time you just fell asleep together watching a movie at his place. Even the time your had the flu and he took care of you by making you soup and giving you your medicine. Just press ‘’record’’ and relive those wonderful memories whenever you feel like it. If we could PVR our relationships, what happens the moment you've run out of memory and you need to start deleting things? How do we decide what to delete and what to keep? Sometimes by keeping certain memories alive we learn from our mistakes and make better choices in the future. That’s a memory worth making room for; it could come in handy at a later time. That brings up another interesting feature....more memory (RAM). Would this give us the unbelievable ability to remember all the good times, forget all the bad and delete the forgettable ones all together? When things get a little crazy, there is also the possibility of having to reboot your PVR entirely...which can be scary but at the same time could provide the opportunity for a clean slate in life (romantic or otherwise). Of course the rest of the time you could just let life cruise on "play" mode because you would know that if anything came up you have the nifty little features I mentioned, to do with as you please. With all the advances in technology these days I can't help but wonder....how long until I can PVR my life? -Pillow Talk Gal About Pillow Talk Gal Born and raised in British Columbia, she is a professional woman managing a career, marriage, and a teenager.
