Dick's discussions

Unfortunately, I won't be able to participate on the weekend. Here is what I have so far. There are no links to the songs, so if someone would be kind enough to make links from youtube or whathaveyou, I'd be very grateful. Read more

I've been there. I used to do Buckley's Day & Night capsule combo pack religiously until the day of the event. Like if it says 'take every 6 hours up to 4 times a day' do that.
