It seems to *bother* you that a woman commands that much LaydeeBug May 2016 #31

But that's what you said, though. Octafish May 2016 #33

No, that's what the title of the OP says, clearly. LaydeeBug May 2016 #34

Where in the title does it say a woman making money bothers me? Octafish May 2016 #35

To quote you, my dear, LaydeeBug May 2016 #44
