I really cannot help to wonder, where were your parents/guardians during all that time?

Now now... some days my parents wont even see me.

It's because I'm not there.

Some days you say. He said a year and a half, 16 hours a day.

I used to tell a lot of religious jokes. Not any more, I'm a registered sects offender.

I never know where to bite a man Sad Where would you like me to bite you, and how hard? Bare-teeth or covered by lips? Did you want to be bitten several times (num nummed)? Will you bathe before I bite you? Smile

Speaking of monies, i do believe several thousand are about to smack me in the left ankle. Refunds for expensive trash are good ^_^
