    You have very little time, you must give away all your possessions. I'll be right over.

    where is Mr. Biden? it seems like we haven't heard from him since before the election...
    it is mathematically impossible for either hummingbirds, or helicopters to fly. fortunately, neither are aware of this.

    If anything were to ever happen to me, the site becomes GothamSpotter's.

    I had a strange cold the past couple of days, but I'm fine now. For a moment I was concerned because of the aches along with it, but of course and thankfully it turned out to be nothing, even though Mel was sick too with the same thing. We rested and caught up on movies.

    Re: Welcome to New York, Swine Flu

    We are #1 for too many things, I got the N95 mask but its good to know about the P100 mask because the general public is not going crazy/not aware of them therefore they are not selling as fast.
