Hi. thought i double checked my lists. I completed picks on July 31st. I must've missed the picks you sent me too. yikes!

[Chan]

My list in the other thread doesn't have you. I somehow deleted your name from my bonus list. I checked my PMs three times and I don't see picks from you though.

Sorry about deleting you 😟
