That was it, it was either I went those four years or only got three of them paid... my choice. There were no threats to be thrown in the loony bin for considering my own life in the mix, no bullshit about "their way or the highway", nothing. Obviously I made the more economical choice, because I'm practical.




hubba hubba... I mean... I like your smile...

Thanks....
