Please explain.

[Amy Winette]

Well, Waterfalls is about not doing stupid things that are harmful to yourself (don't go chasing waterfalls, please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to, i know that you're gonna have it your way or nothing at all, but i think you're moving too fast . . .) I was one stubborn dumbass 21 year old!

Gold digger, well, though I am 5 1/2 years older than Jeff and have been doing what I do a lot longer, once we move back home it's very likely he'll be making more than me :) I met Jeff when he had just turned 23, right out of college ;)

[pokerchick66]

See, I didn't know that. Or if you told me, I don't remember. Which is also a good possibility, lol.

[tangledupinblue]

That is great Amy. You have a good marriage now with someone who enjoys the same life and music. It is great. OH, and Jude is 5 years younger than me so that works very well when they are a bit younger. HA!
