I hope Zach is heavily biased in favor of his family, as are most of us. merrily May 2016 #145

It's not bizarre at all. It was trolling. lumberjack_jeff May 2016 #158

Clearly the behavior of a terrified woman. notadmblnd May 2016 #117

Indeed. The poor dear. bunnies May 2016 #121

Did you watch the videos senz and notadmblind posted? merrily May 2016 #47

Of course I watched Deb May 2016 #84
