Yea just tired of all the constant bitchen about what happens on the
list. Seen it more times than I can count. There are those that suggest
that we all should get a life. But if not for the Spridgets(not the list
- the cars and acquaintenances), can we ALL say we have a life??
Got a few comments that I would like to say about lovers, friends and
acquaintences, but WDF, Rather listen to the Zombie Woof.
