#mombod
Apparently #dadbod is a big thing now. Who decided this? Fellows, did you think that women were somehow under the illusion that regular earthlings looked like Joe Manganiello?

I've had migraines, broken bones... the pain in my abdomen beat them all. I wondered if it was possible to have an appendix burst at my age. Luckily, in the ER they were able to give me something that knocked me (and my pain) on my ass while they did some tests... and found a kidney stone. Who knew they could hurt so bad ( Read more... )
