lavmadog I always work with doctors and am always at ease with them be it a male or a female. I can open up to any gender, maybe because I know them too well. Male doctors are caring and have deep concern too, they are not just showy like the female ones.

Do you feel angry when your prayers go unanswered?

lordwarwizard @lordwarwizard (35747) • Singapore 27 Aug 08
