bouncybug Yes, I get this feeling all the time. Isn't it such a strange experience? No one is really sure what exactly causes it, but it is an eerie feeling when it happens, especially when you know that this exact thing can't possibly have happened before!

bouncybug This is so true - there have been many times when I have read responses to discussions that are just really off track with what the person who started the discussion was speaking about. Far better to just clear up any misunderstandings as soon as possible!

bouncybug Good idea! I can imagine that it must be easy to slip into being so comfortable with each other that you forget to live a healthy lifestyle, so I am glad that you are taking that step - best of luck to you, here's to a healthy future!

Youth gets 2 year ban from town
