I actually enjoy occassionally responding to these and developing a correspondence with the scamster. There's a website devoted to this odd way of making scamsters waste time by the way. :lol:

O Town, I believe it. She had great common sense before the grandkid was born. After he was born she lost it all. Which Hurricane is represented in your avatar?
