I'm currently reevaluating our ring attitude because Scorch gets overstimulated, and these are good things to remember.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10689043201878425239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4901844543243405919.post-72892767026533751952012-02-22T08:47:55.944-08:002012-02-22T08:47:55.944-08:00This post is a keeper!

But what can i say? i'm not perfect. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
