Life's a glitch

arkaf61 @arkaf61 (10881) • Canada 9 Jun 11

arkaf61 @arkaf61 (10881) • Canada 4 Oct 09

If an idiot gets hurt... do we still have to feel sorry for him?

arkaf61 @arkaf61 (10881) • Canada 21 Aug 09

There is no account for human stupidity, and I have moved to the bull side a long time ago . Ok so I am Portuguese, and proud of being Portuguese, but there are times where I feel like hiding the Benfica ( Portuguese soccer team...

arkaf61 @arkaf61 (10881) • Canada 12 Aug 09

arkaf61 @arkaf61 (10881) • Canada 31 Jul 09

My son loves pancakes. Specially now that he is home from school each day he asks me for pancakes. I don't mind making them, but since I make them from scratch I hate to waste the dough. I often have a bit leftover and could do...
