I didn't buy it yet but I have to!

After all if I'm not mistaken, it IS going to be written in a more masculine voice.

When the dishwasher died in our old apartment (several years ago), it took so long to get a new one that we joked they got it off a mountain in Nepal and sent it to us by pygmy goat. It would have gotten to us sooner but there was a whole ocean to swim. The new dishwasher was installed just after we gave notice to vacate.

If you remember she read before some author of a children's book about a dog. On the show, her book was a big success, maybe, your real life will follow that storyline of SITC.<BR/><BR/>jLittle Ms Bloggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17208746635976950728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19050282.post-26477793753075493842008-07-01T19:17:00.000-05:002008-07-01T19:17:00.000-05:00My nephew LOVES Walter the Farting Dog.
