Tonight I plan on spending a fine Thanksgiving evening at home with family.\u00a0 And by “home” I mean the kind of home that has 70 beer taps on the wall.\u00a0 And by “family” I mean, waitresses in short skirts.<\/p>\n

Have you ever been to A. Schwab and looked at their “magic” section?\u00a0 They have all these oils and potions that are supposed to be used in spells to manifest whatever it is you want in life.\u00a0 I’ve seen oils that bring wealth, attraction, love, power, happiness, all that stuff.<\/p>\n
