From MPSIMS **2006 Weight Loss Club - July I gave blood today** That’s one way to drop a little weight I guess. **Crime? I got a letter from Canada today…** Nah, you’re cool. It’s sending mail _to_ Canada that’s illegal. From IMHO **How do I get my 44yr old, unemployed daughter to move out!!! Anyone undergone Mass decontamination?** That seems a tad drastic. **Ask the Wacky American Chick Who Watched the Soviet Union Collapse Why am I craving salt so badly?** I think that may be a little outside the Wacky American Chick’s area of expertise. **Dogs/puppies Getting Along with Chickens Am I right in being bothered by this?** No, but when the cats show up, you may be bothered all you like. From CS **WTF is up with IMDb? Great Movie Tag Lines** It’s just one of the services they offer. ---
