I don’t know if it’s against the law to date an inanimate object but it’s 2024 so go on with your bad self. 
Buy her a dozen roses and a box of chocolate…works for my Smiths
thank you sir
You see, y'all did not read the statement correctly. I asked CAN YOU GUYS DATE not Me. Seems like y'all already have dated one.
I read the title and that’s all I needed.
I expect a wedding invite when you and the spinner get to that point.
Hopefully the box is in good shape. Nobody likes a worn out box
Do you have thecmodel 10's and 60's?
Hard for you to admit ain't it my friend, we all know you.I read the title and that’s all I needed.

I’ve had a few spinners with a worn out box. I harbor no secrets.
