By Wendy Berg Can I be a help to you? And if I can just say,For I’ll do anything for anyone if it’s done my way. Cause my way is the way I’ve learned if it’s wrong or right.If you have a better way, teach me your right from my wrong.

Experience

December 1, 1975 by Mini Archives

By Bill Conners Life is an experience filled by never- ending possibilities.No time to fly nor to play.But relax while the hellish beauties caress your inner-bound soul. Be sure not to touch the fountain of rowdiness, just eat from the seeds of fortune“And then you’re experiencing the high of experiencing.”
