We were looking at used Volvos and the dealer had one low mileage etc.

re: Britney Spears needs conservatorship for own safety, sources say: "This is what we feared"
Posted by real turf fan on 5/4/24 at 8:31 pm
A really weird thought:
This is all a stage and tomorrow night Britney Spears shows up in New York City at the museum of art for Anna Wintour's fund raising gala, and Britany is wearing, you guessed it, the Chateau Marmot pillow and blanket.
