i had forgotten what had happened to me when i left the rinnes --she was sold-- would have been their to the end if she had not been sold-- when i got home --single at the time --and went to my doctor (not for what you think) he informed me that i was completely run down and recommended rest and a quiet life for a few weeks.didnt tell him it was the affects of months of tanduay rum and phillipino women.
