...I will grant tax-exemption to every pharmaceuticals company that makes cold-sore medication with this incredible anaesthetic that makes the raw spot go numb.

That is all. Thank you for your attention.

My dad's 1990 Toyota Corolla, remember that machine? It now has 239,438 miles ( Read more... )

I have a cup of warm tea right now, and I feel a little sad, which the tea is only partly helping to relieve. Ok, I'm 22 now, and will be married in 3.5 months. I was browsing random livejournals right now based on interest, and found that there are people younger than me who have already been married, had emotional problems, divorced, gotten ( Read more... )

Saima's dad died three days ago. I didn't post immediately afterward because everyone's emotions were running high, and I had some consolation to do. Things are a little cooler now, and Saima is slowly recovering from the shock. I don't talk to her too much because her mother requires most of her attention, still being distraught.

I have yet to finish my homework. From 12 this afternoon to 7 in the evening, I was struggling with the Corolla's fuel filter. Oh the old one came out all right, after I busted the knuckles on my left hand opening the exiting fuel line's fitting. A few bloody paper towels and four band-aids later the filter was out. The only problem is, the ( Read more... )
