Perhaps we can do a 2008? This is a bit old huh?That's what I was thinking. Alot has changed in the last 3 years.

There is also a lot of new stuff in the last three years that is very competitive!;)

I guess its just personal preference, but I havn't ever really cared much for McLellands. Wasn't treated well when I went in there several years ago.

It's botox, if you haven't noticed, my facial expression never changes. I communicate with a series of winks and mouth noises in person.
