(haha, the next comment will send the boys running and screaming in fear and terror!) did you know, shelley, it cures cramps as well? that and my orgasms are like twice as powerful then, as well! i came up with a great halloween costume: i'm gonna be brittany spears, "hit me baby...one more time" costume! --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- ---
