CUT FUNDING, ABOLISH AND REPEAL THE FLOOD INSURANCE PROGRAM.
VOTE NO.

Hi Joshie!
January 13, 2013, 11:20pm (report abuse)I see you snuck up the stairs from the basement and used mommy's computer when she wasn't looking. She isn't going to like it when she finds out.
Better get back down there with your plastic girlfriend. It's safer for you there.

February 27, 2013, 11:25pm (report abuse)I am 12 years old and I live in my mom's basement. She doesn't like for me to use her computer but I sneak up and use it when she is gone. I really love my blow-up doll. She is so beautiful. I used to claim to be a preacher but someone found out who I really was and told on me. Now I just post here whenever my plastic girlfriend won't let me snuggle with her.
