  • Flower petals don’t just get up and walk off by themselves

    We are both sick here with the same symptoms so we are sick and isn’t just something we ate and isn’t simply a bad day. I pretty much literally crawled out of bed this morning and then pulled myself up. The bed is on the floor so that’s one thing, but my body hurt too…

  • What’s up with all the police
