First, I hate spam. Seriously. And I still think the moldy hair thing is disgusting and weird.
Your blog is really great. I love to read your stories and watch the pictures and videos. It looks like you are having a good time in Micronesia. But I have to agree with Christy - I hate spam and I like my hair not being moldy.
I am looking forward to your next post!
