But just think it's normal to be in low grade pain that sometimes flares up to serious pain. But hey, doctors make things worse and always bum ya out with all the stuff you're doing wrong anyway. What ya don't know can't hurt ya, amirite?

The ERA was my first major campaign.

She pissed me off with her nonsense. She claimed if women got equal rights it would mean guys would be able to walk in on them in public bathrooms.
