you have a definite point. eom artyteacher Apr 2016 #1

Actually he dosnt have a point. He is just stating his fantasies and imaginations as facts. eom. Jemmons Apr 2016 #13

I'm very much a "girl". And what facts have I gotten wrong? Please do tell in your infinite wisdom. Liberal_Stalwart71 Apr 2016 #21
