Guest guest Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 My paradise, want to be on an island, have everything I need to survive. Everything food, tv, dvd player, computer, clothes, etc...Everything must run with sunlight. Not too cold and not too hot. Have a spectacular view. Be with my family and my true friends. Swim in the water as long as I want too. ---- Original Message ---- To: Breathe-Support Sent: Mon, 14 Jan 2008 12:40 am Subject: Re: reality check Everyone's paradise is different.
