how is your friend doing? ever find out what happened?

 

[OonDeanisS]

hes ok to talk most of the time but he still cant hold anything or stand up, no word on what happened, but i think he might have just fallen really bad.

 

[OonDeanisS]

hes home walking now, feds watching and phones tapped but at least hes alive and maybe now i can use his garage

I counted 5 things on that list that you could have completed in the time it took you to write that list

 

[OonDeanisS]

[Mr. Rustypwnz]

[OonDeanisS]

[Mr. Rustypwnz]

thanks Ive been wandering for like 6 months how much fluid a t5 takes LoL.

 

[OonDeanisS]

a simple search would have done the trick lol
