9:16 am

MollyL

The help section of this place really should be updated. Yesterday, people were complaining about French words not being allowed. Some French words are, but not all.

10:45 am

MLFAN17

and i am not sure about teh ice cream i look at the webpage for it all the time the flavors sound so goood

10:47 am

MLFAN17

but for as many a they have in the package it is kind of pricey

10:47 am

rururocks

10:47 am

MLFAN17

look up the name you will see ruru lol

10:48 am

hokie carla

MLFAN17

my houghts are that governments simply cannot continue to lock up whole demographics of people because someone sneezed. they are going to have to find another way of doing this.i most certainly understand the gravity of it all. but there has to be some other way found.
