    How depressing was THAT?
    Just so you know, that is not an example of how my family and I live our lives. We have taken the red pill and we know just how far the rabbit hole goes.

Repost: Everyone uses the word, what's your problem

Our-kids is a group of over 1000 people who all are people who are in one way or another in the special needs community.

Kathy knows that I need a replacement though, and seeing as we always have dogs in pairs, our
