If that picture was actually taken in Ballard, do you think they could have snapped it before one of MOB’s guys took it.
Why do you waste our time with such ridiculousness?
That bike was stolen yesterday.
Also, liberals can’t feel “love”; they are too narcissistic for that emotion and for pair bonding.
I think this is a wonderful holiday for many, but I spent yesterday Valentine’s Day like any other day. I am a little disappointed in love and I think that my opinion on this matter is unlikely to change in the near future. Of course, sometimes you want attention, and in this case, I use sex chat online or any other adult dating. And I can be sure that no one will break my heart. So far, this situation suits me perfectly.
