Oh my word, Candice! Those are great stats. I knew some of them but wow, some of those are harsh! That's pretty good that you only had that many dates w/out company, eh? Hope to come see Grady someday soon...
Wow, that is crazy. How are you doing? I didn't know the toll it took on you, you poor girl! Hope all is good now!
16!!!!
I'm speechless.
Thanks...those stats also put my very minor headache in perspective...nothing to complain about. That is so interesting that you kept track of all those stats. And only 6 days w/o visitors...that is super! I'm glad you didn't list which of your friends could have called you more! :)
Glad its over!
