[QUOTE="Star*, post: 444541, member: 4964"] Well with a name like Three Turkeys......I'm almost afraid to ask what kind of behaviors you have at your home? Fall challenged holidays? Or Just day challenged days all together? I see also you are living in the land of lying, stealing and disobedience!! Ah (makes strange gangland hand sign) Do you recognize my symbol sister?
