The world has already been flooded with about a million News headlines about this past event. Every writer stating their points of views too.

unlikelysweet 215 Posted May 23, 2020 I think it’s “I grabbed a pentant” i'm pretty sure she says gabapentin! a medication prescribed for anxiety (among other things( !! I take it too, it can also make you drowsy which makes sense with what she says 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yosemite 23,786 Posted May 23, 2020 speaking of how badly worded was lana's post: this is a perfect example you could have said it in a nicer way just like the comments before you did because as you see, clearly, this is my first post, and i'm still new to how the things work here, and thank you. I love being a good example Also, I said "hun" at the end so PS: you should've really posted this under the "Instagram Updates" thread. If everyone created one to express themselves about this issue then we'd have tons of unnecessary threads; just saw you're a newbie so at least now you know 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
