      GoGo is indigenous to DC/Delmarva. No one else hears it unless we bring it. I live in Texas, so if it ain't bluegrass or country they're lost-lol.

      Fiifi Baidoo Sweetheart I have no idea who you are or who you think you may be, but I do know that this comment had nothing to do with you. No one was speaking to you honey so I will not shut the fuck up. If you feel some type of way about this conversation which had nothing to do with you in the first place, you should keep those feelings to yourself because I can guarantee you that you were (and still are) the furthest thing from my mind when I posted that comment (as well as this one) and also I give zero fucks about you being mad. Now you have yourself an absolutely splendid day.

    “For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but inherit Eternal Life.
    For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.”
    “He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
    And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, but men loved darkness rather than the light, because their deeds were evil.
    For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come into the light, for fear that their evil deeds will be exposed.
    But he who does the truth comes into the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been done through God.”
