That's not stopping me though.... I hope someday to post something that doesn't make me cringe. As for builders I am always amazed by your stuff.... Not to mention I'll never forget the Harp Cigar box you built.... or the bench either BTW lol...

Cardboard boxes are $2.00 each and wood boxes are $5.00 each with the exception of a few wood ones that I am going to be using myself. Brian

Both might have been with some guys, i wasn't sure. But one was quite ... drunk. She had on this pinstripe button down shirt with the front buttons open except for the bottom three. No bra. B cup. Later on, she unbuttons the last three buttons and ... well you get the idea. very interesting evening.
