That’s a little rude, don’t you think? A quick post and you make us feel like you have more important things to do, like we just don’t matter. I’m glad I was able to sleep in a bit this morning. ---

So ‘walk the dog’ is what they’re calling it these days? Perv! Ginger ale tastes better than cola drinks in my opinion. ---

That was you? Maybe learn the difference between annoying the hell out of someone and having a discussion! I just found out my 26-year-old niece is dating a 45-year-old. ---

They are both consenting adults, but I’m sure you will get yourself all involved in their business because at the end of the day it’s really all about what you think is best, isn’t it? Do your niece a favor and get your own life. I have a lot of nieces and nephews. ---
