Our marriage and the adoration we have for each other today, some 12 years later, has proved that 2 Leos can actually co-exist. Not only did she leave her job at a hospital in Houston and move out here to Australia, she's now an Aussie citizen with no regrets. This would certainly not have happened without the internet. In fact, even with the internet, the chances of two 'soul-mates' such as we two meeting is still incredibly hard to imagine. The internet has certainly changed lives and for the better, for me and my wife at least. Like they say, "You can find ANYTHING on the internet!"
