… a good swift kick?

Well, turn it up!

What Ben Grimm said … but there's another out too, isn't there? His upcoming criminal trial for rape next month.

My family is teetotal, so I will have no recourse whatsoever to alcohol of any kind.

I started walking again after a month's break on Sunday, and instead of starting from scratch, I made my best time!

That is a great article. It rings absolutely true for me. Thanks for posting that.

Welcome! I did the same thing, lurked forever first.
