A recent study of more than 16,000 people age 50 and older asked participants to take verbal memory tests over six years.

Findings: Those who had the fewest social connections with friends, family and in the community suffered decline in memory capacity at twice the rate as those with the most.

Conclusion: This is another example of how being socially engaged is beneficial for mental health.

My boyfriend gave me a STD when he fucked a whore from his past.

I gave him a glass of poison coffee. I went to jail. He is still out there cheating on whoever he is with now.

Here in Italy we women are looked down upon if we do not have a man at our beck and call. We are accused of being lesbians if we want to be independent.

As in America we work for less. I quit my job as an bio-tech engineer to become a model two years ago.

At first I thought it would be a negative thing to do to all the sacrifice my parents had put themselves through to see me through school.

But when my mother said that she would do it in a moment if she had to do it all over again. I was shocked.

She revealed that she had had similar offers when she was in middle school. My father looked at the economic potential and said he would approve if I didn’t pose nude. I laughed and told him it was not that kind of offer.

I have been modeling for some of the most prestigious magazines in Europe, South American and Asia. I recently broke into Victoria Secrets in Ameirca.

I make 20 times more money and I have never been happier. None of my colleagues know that I have a degree in bio physics.

How wonderful to have friends that remember your past enjoyments. I envy you. Most of my male friends stopped calling after I put on 30 plus calls 11 years ago.

Before that they always had something to say. Now that I am slim and trim again(thanks ZL), I seem to be back on their reach out and touch list.

All it took was a recent picture of me posted on my facebook site. I gave you much credit for the transformation Zen Lill.

Anyway, I don’t take the attempts too seriously because they weren’t so forth coming when I was out of shape.

Now that I am the bombshell that they coveted when we were in high school and college, they want to be “friends” again.

Interesting, huh?
