BREAKING POINT

Nonet

By Babs IversonPublished about a year ago 1 min read

Yes, you made false claims and promises.

Appealing to one's emotions.

Being too good to be true.

Relentless messages.

Notifications.

Clogging inbox.

Unsubscribed.

Bye bye.

Done.

    Bi ~ Some are accusing me of only doing this for the Pay-Day. Whew ~ A Double-Sawbuck ($20) + a Fin ($5) for 'In The Navy'...they are probably right..! Probably the "Point" is that you're sore at me for teasing you about your Texas-Blue-Team vs 'Go Dodger Blue.' - Always with my Respect - j-bud in.l.a.
