Hi Charles Elham and all, Oh,no,I'm neither a strict mother(my husband is)nor a strict teacher(I used to be very strict to my children students),but unfortunately a difficult person to be friends with who's got a lot of unreasonable rules...LOL Consider it as a warning,and don't ask me later why I didn't warn you ! LOL
My 21-year-old niece who's a Chinese language & literature graduate this June has been 'ordered' to help me.;) She's a Libra who was born by a Libra,my eldest sister,who shares your birthday!;) Sorry to confuse you! It's just a reminder to a new member,Sedar,who's flying home to Turkey from Sydney today... He's been a silent member reading everything about me without any feedbacks,so I figure it's time for him to start writing something back!LOL Nice Sunday to you and everyone else! And Happy Belated 25th Birthday,Elham!!!
