One More Time


I got the proof for Killer Career, and wouldn't you know it, I just had to find stuff that I wanted to fix. It'll cost me a bit more, but it's worth it not to be bugged about stuff I know is wrong. Okay, it's just little stuff, but little stuff sometimes means a lot.


So, a little more delay, a little more money, but hopefully all will end well. That's what matters.
It's no fun being a picky person. (G)

Hi Gang,
If you wish, please hop over to http://makeminemystery.blogspot.com and read about my last chance.
Thanks,

Rascal is sleeping right now. When she gets up, you'll know about it.

When RASCAL wakes up, you'll hear from her and/or her Mom - that would be me, Morgan Mandel.
