There’s even more going on between your ears than you give yourself credit for. The proof’s right there in front of you. xx boots have given you THE MOST FEATURES FOR YOUR HARD-EARNED DOLLAR, so you’re obviously the thinking type who knows the value of money well spent. Nice job. You’ll go far in life.
Merci a tous pour les nombreuses suggestions deja proposees....
Cette pub tu peux nous donner un petit morceau entier, juste pour se faire idée générale? :)
