m E O W...seriously...you are just hopeless, lonely and in need of whatever help you can muster. Gal, you need a life, a reality check and maybe some time in the funny farm to finally get a hold of your priorities and maybe there might be some hope for you. It's pointless to call you names anymore because you'll just say the same stupid crap like you always do. Just hoping one day you'll see the light because sister, you've got problems and you need to tackle them head on instead of wastign whatever you refer to as a life on these forum boards obsessing over the craziest of **** like a reality show and Paul Reiser and stuff. Lose the alter egos as well because honey, you're not fooling anyone by that charade of yours. Stop being the focus of attention and get your life back on track and may I add, the quicker, the better. Just admit you need some help!
Here is unemployed Sylvester writing essays on this site, now if she could wrte articles like copy and paste and get paid for it.
