Right you are. Send NO more than $100 a month. Otherwise, whatever you think, you're simply paying for her boyfriend's beer and cigarettes. Enjoy! Read More

France? Japan? North America? Right turns on red? Waste? Get real! Forehead tattoos would work better than micro chips. First, find homes for the people living on the tracks before teaching them to queue for the train. How can 3 lanes of gridlock ... Read More
