hmm.. with all the fat rights & discrimination I'm reading about .. I'm still having a hard time - i think ppl should still be active. I have a hard time with anyone who wont walk anywhere - unless they have some sort of pain. But even then its a cycle, what are you do? you don't move so it hurts, but you need to move so eventually it stops hurting ( Read more... )

I am going to pick up a book on resume writingat least today. Uhg. I am glad for them though.. it'll be nice to visit. Ben might get the little dog he ( Read more... )
