I can resist anything but temptation.

Bio
From my days on an Ohio farm, temptation has been my greatest strength & my greatest weakness. I constantly ask myself, “Should I or shouldn’t I.” I struggle with good & bad, long & short and truth or fiction. My life is filled with all things sweet & nice, with a touch of spice and a whole lot of wackiness. For many years now, I have lived in two worlds; one red and one blue. The red world has been dominated by FoxNews and I was told to believe & never question. The blue world is a long affiliation with Democrats; where I was always told to trust & follow. Living in these two worlds has gotten me into great conflict with temptation… So watch out, depending on the day; I will exercise my wit & knowledge and voice my feelings with true convictions.
