Is money everything?

suchi60 @suchi60 (912) • India 22 Aug 09

realan @realan (518) • United States 22 Aug 09

I always forget to preview. I do try to reread. I guess I'm in such a rush and typing so fast that sometimes I drop letters. I really should preview the post before commenting. Do you usually preview before posting?
