About this page:
I have been very active in Domestic Violence causes all of my adult life. I noticed a need in the world pertaining to Same Sex Domestic Violence. It happens more than people know. Unfortunately there are a number of gay people who barely consider themselves worthy or valued as a gay person much less a Domestic Violence Victim. There are also very limited resources, statistics, or information, for Same Sex Domestic Violence. Hopefully through empowerment and education we can change some of this.
:D

What Up People!




Sweetness laughing as being tickle tortured. Haheh heh heh.




I hope you'll check out my turtle pics. I found Sweetness, my first snapping turtle, trying to cross the road in Wakefield. I scooped her up, learned how to raise a turtle and we've been bestest for life since. I got her a little playmate Daniel Slimy Kelley by the mail. That Turtle was godawful sick when it arrived. It was yellow from head to toe. I got the fungal infection under control with turpentine, h2o2 and iodine. The turtle's looking A LOT better now.




ADD me to your subscriptions PEOPLE! Cause I'm always adding life benefitting pics and pics of my daily activities. If you're not friends with me on here yet, add me and ADD ME to your subscriptions cause you're sure to learn something, K?

Sweetness and Slimy chilaxing.




Ok friends,


Cya,
