Deoderant???

Don't go all philosophical on me.....I don't multi-task very well.

Garlic is called the "stinking rose", but some people LOVE the smell, other do not...

What happened before things had a name???

What did the cavemen do?


K9,
But, does a name change really tweak your essence? Who YOU believe you are???

If you want to be Shirley or Amy for the week, you still go back to being who you were when you started!

You were --------- before you became Shirley or Amy.

It doesn't change the starting point. Your name may change later on, but does a name change who you are physically of mentally?
