Then that person posts a question. Note: None of this advice should be followed... if you do follow it, you are solely responsible for the results... plus you should really be sedated and perhaps locked up. Now let's see how long it takes for this to fall flat on it's face ... Lol! I will start. I am thinking of getting a pet, but I have no idea what to get. I live in a tiny one bedroom apartment. Any suggestions? ID: 305780 ·
