BRIEF
User ID: 79662918 United States 12/20/2021 10:02 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Alcohol prevents REM sleep, so a long time heavy user will have very intense and vivid dreams when stopping cold turkey...sometimes they turn to nightmares... I never forgive and I never forget I am a licensed firearm holder. I will, under protection of law, use lethal force if attacked. |

Unless I‘ve been drinking, he usually entertains me. Earlier this week I saw Venus, and got taken on a tour... Strange shit sometimes lol. Seriously, is it not that simple for everyone? “Water, the basic component of all life... had been deemed a threat to Brawndo's profit margin, when the Brawndo Corporation simply bought the F.D.A... and the F.C.C... enabling them to say, do and sell... anything they wanted.” |
