I never thought to think of the limitations and cost before you ever get to the power. That will get some great results I am sure. Everything in life has balance so to make something believable it needs to have a balance of its own.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15448037191022731833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1918357506534714894.post-53381485981774456332013-05-05T13:03:16.529-04:002013-05-05T13:03:16.529-04:00Thanks.

I like the idea of looking at it as a limitation or vulnerability that can be exploited. Great food for writing.Shell Flowerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08127004188099765270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1918357506534714894.post-61375057847493229262013-05-03T21:06:53.440-04:002013-05-03T21:06:53.440-04:00Thanks.
