Would I be able to quote you about the essentail skills needed to sift research material?<br /><br />AshAshley Listerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11997769708965362938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-8845424753157306982010-04-29T10:10:05.653-04:002010-04-29T10:10:05.653-04:00I stopped watching TV. it's amazing what a tim...I stopped watching TV. it's amazing what a time suck television is. I don't shun it entirely, but I watch maybe two hours a week, unless a World Cup game is on.

When do you ever get time to write?<br /><br />Best,<br />LisabetLisabet Saraihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05162514190572269660noreply@blogger.com
