LM_NET: Library Media Networking
We dropped it after one year. I couldn't stomach all the
'sweetsiepooness' and picked up American Girl, instead. That's a bit
more on the girls as potential wimmen side than on the "....sittin',
knittin' purrrr like a kitten' side. How can you tolerate it, yourself?
Have you actually tried to read any of it?
