What are ‘bootstrappers’ & ‘pike saws’?
For the record, Katie and I were driving today and she joked that if we were in a fatal car accident that Pamela would request to see her stomach contents (to ensure she’d adhered to the weight loss challenge diet). . . . .See you at First Friday!
Too bad, for the record Eric, you tried to sabotage Katie’s stomach content with enriched white flour and other such nonsense.
