Free services from friends with real professions.

Like dental exams. Given at a bar. Classy.
I also have no shame in asking for legal advice from my lawyer friends, IT help from my IT friends, counseling from my counselor friends. Seems like fair trade: You help me and I’ll…I’ll put your picture on michellewoo.com. Now, let’s see. [...]
