    Trader Nirvana???

    But that's not necessarily a good thing. Also, Czech whores are cunning. They might have you THINKING they don't know anything about feminism when really they are just putting on an act to please you. And unlike American whores, they usually aren't happy with just spending money and a nice...

    Why do we not honor our stops/go off plan?

    OCA orders on IB... please confirm/help
