Also, could I get one of you to come by and clean out my refridgerator? It's a little stinky and could use a good scrubbing. |

Thanks for the help guys.
I also thought of some others for anyone who cares to use them for their classes.
Fashion: "I'm Too Sexy For My Shirt" - Right Said Fred
Winter: "California Dreamin'" - The Mamas & The Papas
"Yesterday" is cool. I also thought of "Smokin' in the Boys Room" - Motley Crue for the school topic. |
