Next is River hanging out in one...

And most of this stuff is only for my own remembrance so I guess I don't have to be all "look at me!" about it. Anyway...

I had another vomit day this past weekend. My burst blood vessels had just about healed from the last one, but now I have them bright and fresh again. ...

Imagine my surprise when after eating an egg, once again, the white foam that spew from my mouth. It was a truly magical and awe inspiring thing. Now I feel like I really belong on this forum.
