Dad says, we'll your mom clued me in but I got them all for free at the clinic, it was just too good a deal to pass up.Just My Opinionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00746692479411698059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4320479736034351430.post-33649223579856933062013-12-24T04:01:57.061-06:002013-12-24T04:01:57.061-06:00Merry Christmas to you and your loved ones AOW.Merry Christmas to you and your loved ones AOW.Randy-ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12374141045770199773noreply@blogger.com
