Now we've gone from "fucking vain" to "a bit cowardly".

But that's a far cry from accusing excessive vanity just because he struggled with the affects of the disease on his appearance. -- Somewhere between the time you arrive and the time you go May lie a reason you were alive that you'll never know ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
