dasderdly doctors doctor I had 20 years ago, who wanted to give me a cochlear implant back then, at a time when that basically involved taking parts from the busted-up radios of El Rancheros, using a chisel to make the incision, etc. I wanted to implant the doc with a squeaky toy, even though...

I wish there was one without someone knowing your business.My extended local family isnt game on them.Think it like big brother watching.They just wait until we see eachother face to face and then of course no one remembers anything so I am out of the loop.
