If you want to make this personal and bring ******************************** into this, then be my guest. I've agreed to not speak of or mention ******************************** and am trying hard to live up to my bargain. I'd love to comment about your ******************************** pic, but will withhold comment.

I've never liked ******************************** and think ******************************** should ******************************** themselves nicely while ******************************** just lives life.....is how I see it.

Have a nice day!
