Glucose - breakfast of champions
At the clinic. I just drank a couple glasses of glucose solution - hopefully that was what it was, it tasted sweet at least so I guess they picked the right bottle. The nurse was a boy looking like a high school kid, perhaps they have work training or something? Or neoteny is marching on. In any case, it doesn't exactly inspire confidence when ( Read more... ) -

We showed that comprehensive lifestyle changes may stop or even reverse the progression of coronary heart disease, prostate cancer, diabetes, hypertension, obesity, hypercholesterolemia, and other chronic conditions that account for at ( Read more... ) -
Immunity to distance: 10%
OK, this is getting ridiculous. See, a week and a half ago I decided to walk for an hour every day when feasible, or half an hour if not. It has been feasible almost every day so far.

Kindle for PC installer - registration timed out (solved)
