IAMHERE Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 Practically everyone will reject the part because they all have something they are not proud of and you better bet that something will be brought to light. Gonna be interesting where they find a Pollyanna or Snow White now days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
