What and give up some of the most perfect s.e.x a woman could ever have??!!!
The stash guards are always present. Bambi comes out of the woods almost daily just to be sure that all is safe. And if one of the babmi's are not available there are plenty of other critters here in our woods to protect the stash if I am ever away. juliasb Kathy Applebaum wrote: "juliasb(nospam)" wrote in message ...

I'll gas up the stashraidmobile while you're emailing it... -- come and journey with me... from darkness into New Life http:\\www.nwlife.com |
