C and H was another of my favorites, but you have to go with the cartoon you have, not the one you might want.

insensitivity is bullcrap... this is a cold hard world and if the person is "to sensitive" and that person cant take some critisisum...that person in question needs to find something else to do.... critisisum and differance in oppions are always going to happen..and if people dont start to develope a thicker skin..they hvae a long and painfull life head of them..... at least this is how i see it....
LC..you calling me out... then all i got to say is....ITS ON..lol

I am not anything like the character in the strip. Just because you don't agree with my opinion doesn't mean your stupid. Maybe close, but that only counts in horseshoes.[}:)][}:)][}:)]
