I'm typing this post as I watch the show. Talk about a live post. Let's go. The episode started with Vice President Sally Langston. They showed us how the argument started between her and her gay husband, and how she consequently ended up stabbing him several times with a letter opener. Her husband accused her of always knowing that he was gay anyway and only marrying him to make her look good because apparently she was too old, too rich, and too shriveled to find a man.

How To Be A Nurse After Being A Nurse

The boys are from two tribes: Igbo and Yoruba - Yoruba mother and Igbo father. Hence the Igbo last Read More
Dear Vera, I Want Him Back
Dear Vera, I love your blog and literally everything about you. I have a situation that may not be so unique. I have been dating this guy casually on and off and he's a very nice guy, but I just never found myself to be so attracted to him. The sex is OK.
