Regular tuberculosis screening!

When I had the booster, the doctor was careful to inject in the original shot site, so there'd only be one scar.

I've been googling like crazy since I watched 'Kill the Moon" last night (I'm marathoning the season so that I can watch the Christmas special) and yours is the first comment I've found that expresses my difficulties with the episode. The provided facts make the decision obvious: if the choice is whether to…

If I like ASCENSION for only one thing (and I pretty much—it was disappointing), it's that it led me to VIRTUALITY. Don't know how I missed it five years ago. It's exactly the kind of thing I go for.
