  1. What a beauty! Did it have any particular odor? Posted 6 years ago
    1. It did smell actually! Sooo very bad. The smell was a pungent combo of rotten swamp and flatulence. Posted 6 years ago
      1. You changed your ID? Did the odor have something to do with you changing your mind? Posted 6 years ago
        1. Yes! I just updated it. I was checking my posts on MO and saw that someone had corrected my ID for this one. Posted 6 years ago
