Do you repair it? Or trade it in? The same outsides, but a new motor? A polished up exterior, but the same old reliable guts inside? <br /><br />Yes, relationships are like things.

It'll be worth it.The Honourable Husbandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05234119524600114890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2886936654101087197.post-53628915372548726232011-09-19T09:52:56.452+12:002011-09-19T09:52:56.452+12:00@Tane I have a Dell.
