he was the class clown, the best football player , and the top basketball scorer. and the best looking. homecoming king. but his left arm was f**ked by a coach. he needed surgery and it was never the same. let me tell you all, if you have a top pitcher, count pitches and screw them when all they care about is winning some babyass trophy.

Salt-cured beef in a glass jar. See your local grocer for my family history. :sneaky:

Sounds kinda' like myself... my name had to be changed immediately, as the original name that had been selected as my Christian name didn't exactly suit me... you know, I can actually see you as an Allison, however Kimmy. Kimberly seems more befitting for you, though.

Vanessa in 1955.........My Mom wanted something special. Vanessa means "Butterfly" in French. I happen to like elephants as my spirit guide. Espaciallly the cows who protect their children.

My father spelled my name with an 'e' on my birth certificate. Mom changed it to an 'i'. Robin- just because they liked it. My middle name is after my mother. Robin Kay. hehehehe wish I had a Ã‚£ for every time I heard that as a kid! LOL!!
