It was a comment on vaginapagina. I vaguely remember it. Was it a community? Was it a person? I can't recall, but I decided to login to see if I could see what it was about. I could not.

Once my lease was up, I opted to rent a one bedroom with the water, sewer, and trash included for $540 a month for a savings of $1,080 a year. (Read More)
