This Is The One Response I’ve Been Using, And You Might Want to Too
I showed up for an appointment with someone I haven’t seen in a while. When I walked in she said, “You look so tiny! You look so good!” And, then she said it again. My response was I look good if I’m fat, too!” đ That’s it. That’s the blog post. đ Love you all to the … Read More
