very pretty! glad you were able to sit through it okay.

Can’t wait to see some pictures. They do get addicting.

welcome to the forum!

have you been using unscented soap/lotion?

OMG how have you not punched this loser in the face? You need to talk to his manager and take your business elsewhere. He has no right to talk to a paying customer like that. How unprofessional and rude. This douchebag has no class.
