Poor and pretty little rich girl finally starts to grow up in her forties, and learns to fly. <\/p>\n<p>We were supposed to be heartwarmed, and so we were. <\/p>\n<p>The channel was quite successful, as measured by click counts and the profit yardstick. <\/p>\n<p>But it was all a profit-making lie.

I don&#8217;t have access to their sooth, or even their less consequential truth. <\/p>\n<p>How real is your recovery, dear little man?<\/p>\n<p>Sister tell me, is your happiness as pure as you would have us believe?<\/p>\n<p>Mi-not; mine ain&#8217;t.<\/p>\n<p>***<\/p>\n<p>Someone is begging me to have my water heater looked at before something <em>bad<\/em> happens.<\/p>\n<p>So I begged her back: Please stop Living In Fear My Dear. <\/p>\n<p>And she said: <em>I can&#8217;t help it. <\/em><\/p>\n<p>If that&#8217;s what you think &#8230;<\/p>\n<p>&#8230; then you&#8217;re right, honey. <\/p>\n<p>You can&#8217;t.
