I am purchasing a table at my next residence. This is the first time I have lived someplace without a table or counter surface. I live alone and figured why purchase a table then found out i cannot stand doing paperwork on a clipboard sitting in a chair. Another reason to procrastinate about not paying bills and writing back to people. Bills did'nt ( Read more... )

I know nothing about the large family gathering. Growing up my family consisted of my mother, father and brother. We had a family gathering every evening so getting together for the holidays meant we ate different food not much else.

Do you use a scale, a mirror or the opinion of others to tell yourself when you are beginning to get our of shape?

Just not enough envidence presented by the prosecution for me to convict of first degree murder. Scott is the worlds worst husband and terrible with money but not sure if he is a murderer.

Telephones do not handle sweat well either. I was razzing a friend back home for dropping her phone in her beer. The phone was ruined instantly. Now I my phone is acting up after using it while on the exercise bike at the gym. I am that obnoxious guy talking on my phone on the bike having a regular conversation like no one else is there. My heart ( Read more... )

If you see me screaming and cursing it to prove a point to the people around me. People do not take you seriously unless they believe you are really mad about something. For example I had my car broken into a ( Read more... )
