don't it make you go grrrr though lol...I have the perfect way to get rid of them...I reply I don't speak Dutch and they go cos they don't speak english lol...fun hearing them say in perfect english no sorry I don't speak it though lol excellent write thank you....10++

Thanks for shining a little sun on my morning. Love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
