I wish I knew what advice to give, other than to be overly observant, which I'm sure you already are.Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06092500646246056371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1048204038013184233.post-12389523830509292092012-08-07T13:12:52.372-04:002012-08-07T13:12:52.372-04:00Hmmm...

He waits until it is clear and evident, and there is no denying it. By the time we get to that point, a hospital stay is often warranted. By the way. I love your site. Your views on the world are truly inspirational.PammyMcBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05412457254175975070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1048204038013184233.post-40360536082210337142012-08-01T20:07:18.885-04:002012-08-01T20:07:18.885-04:00Good strategy!Good strategy!Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06092500646246056371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1048204038013184233.post-79038287887892388522012-08-01T18:52:19.556-04:002012-08-01T18:52:19.556-04:00That's why I have my 3ds, my netbook, and my p...That's why I have my 3ds, my netbook, and my phone - with my one of my fave games on it. Even if there's not wifi, I have plenty of offline stuff I can do on it.

I also use non-pain related words for pain which confuse people, like "I sure am sad" if my stomach hurts.
