"I'll bet you have great stories! Jonathan.  Best moment on the LFT, worst moment, most noteworthy thing you'd ever seen?  Owls, coyotes, cops and robbers, crazy bikes, horses and such? "

"No, but I've probably got about 40-50k since I moved to Chicago in 2008 so if I give myself 43 years at that rate I'll be doing pretty well! :)"

How is everything with you, I picked interest on you after going through your short profile and deemed it necessary to write you immediately. I have something very vital to disclose to you, but I found it difficult to express myself here, since it's a public site.Could you please get back to me on:( mrsstellakhalil5888@gmail.com ) for the full details.
Have a nice day
Thanks God bless
Stella.
