Not.

Not really. It’s the ramblings of a wine swilling, cat owning woman.
She’s likely on the pill with sexual partners in triple digits.
Her opinions belong in the circular file cabinet.
The selfie generation. Obsessed with self. Fearful of everything. Wholly submissive to any “expert” or government whim.
Is there anything globull warming can’t do or isn’t responsible for?
If anything, it’s made the pedos hornier than ever
True dat.
When the weather hot and sticky, ain’t no time dunking ducky.
When the frost is on the punkin, that’s the time for dicky dunkin!
She’s showing the devil’s horns.
I dig on hetero sweaty.
Apparently she hasn’t heard that immigrants are coming here to have the sex that Americans won’t have.
I'm confused. I thought the Super Bowl did that...and during the middle of winter which is cold for most of the country.
