Here we go again...!
You guys suck.
You can go all the way to Alaska but Town and Country is too far to drive??
Uhhh, is there MLB in T&C? I think your career at Wally World is the reason we have not seen you...
I'm glad Julia said something, but I'll add to it. I personally called twice and left messages to no avail. Once, you posted on your hutch that you were sicky. The other time, my message went unanswered. I've cried enough on the inside and you had to go and bring it up again.
