I know is sounds selfish but this was an honest answer I was looking for.

whiteninja

I’d tell you but you blocked me. Have had a kidney transplant.

There is very little in this life that I am really proud of outside of my family

Kidneys are worth about $70k

8/5/19 10:10pm

sheesh, can I just sell it

whiteninja

You usually have to steal someone's.

8/5/19 10:28pm

Crap, I was always under the impression those stories were fake.

whiteninja
