I think I speak for everyone who has a significant other, that February

our respective relationships.)

How's this clause:
" The Consultant acknowledges and agrees that any such breach or
threatened breach will cause irreparable injury to the Co
How come Godaddy can update your domain records in a matter of minutes

OK, for those of you who attended my robotics talk, you know that I have
an aging HP pavilion laptop. I'll probably buy a new laptop soon, but
