might be time to build more at biw.

Please provide any proof that she isn’t the best thing in the world.

Think Taylor likes slightly out of shape website editors who are in long-term relationships? Because that’s me!

I hear you. It’s one of the biggest frustrations about doing an overview in two hours, Rockchops. We hope to be able to garner interest enough in the premise to serialize this and bring you huge chunks on one topic in a single episode.
