    my bra baby is here!!! **Pic**

    Quote: You are right! I may be slightly crazy I guess my main problem has been keeping a steady temp with a light bulb. I have had the temp fluctuate from 95-107!! There is no way I would consider doing it for more than a few days. I really thought I cooked this baby! so, I was shocked when...
