    1. We’ll be there until the end of April – we’re thinking maybe seeing L.A, only because we’ll be there need the end of the trip so the season would have started. We’ve also got tix to the Spurs-Mavs game when we’re in San Antonio.. I’m not a fan of either team but it was the most convenient game to get to – I wanted to watch a game at MSG in NY, but the Knicks are really terrible at the moment (even more than Philly lol!)… so we settled on watching the NHL at MSG instead 🙂 It’s a busy 7 weeks we’ve got!!!!

        Oh Yeh! We have gone every winter since we moved here in 1999. Nothing like being out in the fresh air. Everyone is smiling.
        You must be a runner? 4min km – 5 times. I ran it once (not 5km but 1km) 🙂

    1. Thank you very much! I’m not big on stats as such but I love the idea that I’m connecting with new people every day 🙂 I just read your story about Roi, that was heartbreaking – I’ll be back on tonight to read some more and look into it all a bit further. Thank you for dropping by!

  7. I originally saw a post called “Let your imagination off the leash” but then once on your site the getting rid of facebook one caught my attention. Something I am looking to do myself. But I like your humour, and you seem to write well from the few posts Ive read. So 241/1000 now (unless that had not been updated in a while of course)

    1. I’m proud of the Facebook one… mainly because I’ve still stuck to it 5 months on! It’s very rewarding every time I hear someone mumble about something they saw on FB and how frustrated they get. One less thing in my life that agitates me 😉

      1. hehe indeed, and there are so many things that can potentially agitate. farcebook is certainly one of the worse sites out there I think, i am there rarely and even more rarely put anything personal on it.

  8. The ONE thing I really like about Facebook is how easy it makes keeping in touch with friends, especially friends who like me avoid talking on the telephone when possible. And, since most – make that all – of my friends are pet parents, our posts are usually uplifting posts about our pets. I un-followed all the news media and political pages because I was tired of all the hate and narcissism being spewed. And blocked every person who claimed I couldn’t possibly love my dogs as much as they love their human kids and tried to tell me I had no right to call myself a “parent” unless I had human children. For the most part, my own FB page is dog-centric and upbeat. 🐶🐶

  9. A Rock on a Lens/ 3 зарина интернет магазин официальный сайт Впоследствии того, как юноша очнулся, рацея обрела кроткий, беспокойный и даже веселый окрас. Таким доходом обязательно является зарплата, доходы от предпринимательства и инвестиций, однако не наследство. В 2011 году в Польше покончили с собой 8700 муж, и мужчин среди них было больше, чем женщин. Итоговая групповая рефлексия. Это был Хантер Томпсон в юбке, современная журналистика в действии, гонзо-журналистика во всеоружии, смелая и отрывистая. Ни о каком оргазме тогда не возникнет и речи.
    AGENT PROVOCATEUR https://mikheeff.ru В 3-ем положении мошонка мужчины довольно приятно шататься о нижнее бедро женщины, а дополнительное растяжение в паху и необычный угол погружения члена в 4-ой позе опять сильней обострят его ощущения.
