Hi pika-food! I really miss having meat for dinner…I feel like there hasn’t been any in a long while, with the exception of thanksgiving, and the occasional meat bits here and there. I wish meat were a more significant part of my diet… I was wondering if cooks could cook meat more often for us. Thanks! G.

Then I was made and I was too stubborn to turn upside down inside her and they had to cut her open and pull me out. 3 I learned how to put on lipstick by watching her get ready for work in the...

I guess everyone has their own ways of being happy…
Listen
public library therapy sessions?!??!
Is it just me or is it NOT REALLY OKAY that a therapist is using the public library study area for his PRIVATE therapy sessions?
