by cameo-d in
1. jw
2. friends
what would you serve as a substantial snack food for mid-afternoon?.

i am not looking for anything formal like tea and crumpets.. i am not looking for prissy stuff like raw carrot sticks.. i am not looking for something expensive like fancy wine and cheese.. not looking for anything really really sweet, either.. .

i am looking for man-food....like maybe something that would go with deviled eggs.

ever since i left the borg, a lot of bad things have been happening to me.

my family turned against me, i lost all of my friends, and i've gotten myself into one bad relationship into another because i really wasn't taught how to have a relationship outside of the jws.

i almost even ended my life because of this crap.

women - do you love being around men?
