    Julie - not sure what you're doing with your bras...I have a friend who works on a project in the Congo, they are taking bras out there. Apparently wearing a bra is a sign of being married or something and if you're not wearing one you're fair game to be raped (it's a massive problem out there). So if you were getting rid of them I'd be happy to pass them on. Their plan is to get bras to as many women as possible.

    Dinner in SC, bottles all ready for Rhys, everyone fed and dressed except OH. Still need to leave the bin down.
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.
