i would still do her....."
Have it your way. When I post something, I usually care about how I'm presenting it. I don't want it to look like I'm twenty years old when I'm not. Not that there's anything wrong with being young, and if you are, as I suspect, God bless you!

Wow. No one cares about all the spelling and grammar mistakes either, and phrases like "do her"? A presentation like yours tells me you don't care either, that's all I'm saying. So, let me see, I get it now. You run a message board where you don't care, and attract a bunch of people who don't care. Okay. I see. I've had enough. Bye.
