ROTFLMAO!

My grandmotherfather always said that women who wore lipstick were whores. I suspect it’s that kind of thing.

Now if you looked like Sawyer from Lost or Nathan from One Tree Hill, we could talk ;)

Oh and NO on the twins.

So I’m not married, but I know what I’d likely do, so I gave up when my score went somewhere below negative 7 or 8 and I didn’t bother to go on... but I *do* keep wherever I’m living well-stocked with late-night snacks, if that counts for anything.
