The second is a little more difficult and I am trying to learn not to be afraid of publishers rejecting my work.

So Al Gore’s home uses more electricity in a month than the average home does in a YEAR. And this is after he made the big “green” renovations to his home. He has won awards on the phony global warming kick he has been on and he uses almost twice as much energy in a month than the average person does in a year. The man is a fake and a fraud, he is in the global warming game for the money.

Size 12 woman told she was too big by model agencies will compete for Miss England title

I can’t stand to see bone thin models….it makes me want to feed them. But the modeling agencies that hire them encourage the gaunt, bony look apparently. I am glad to see that a “normal” looking woman is succeeding after being turned down by the model agencies.
