For today's blog I'd like to start out by saying Mr. Schick, I'm sorry to hear about the recent loss of your dog. I'm not a dog lover, but it sucks to lose things that are a big part of you and your family. But it's not that I just don't like dogs. To me they smell bad, jump all over you, and I am very allergic.

Something about you must be very inviting for them. Aside from dogs, we also talked about Jimmy's dad's window candle company. Will Jimmy take over the very successful business?

This is how class went today. Looking forward to more class discussion.

When you go onto the cite, you will find different profiles on some one or a group of people and a biography of why they want the money you might be willing to lend to them. This cite seems to work very efficiently as y...
