    Since tribal lands are sovereign nations, they can do what they want. they sell everything short of nuclear warheads. fireworks stands all over. in theory fireworks are supposed to be kept to tribal land but... surprise surprise... people take them off tribal land and blow them up...

    diane sue that was my take on it too. movement is good but not too much ,especially fast and with weights. the supermans feel wrong and even before my surgery i didnt like them. i do more stretches now and when using weights i do mostly moves where my back is supported. i need to...

    judy he sounded very upset , and so are the many dog/cat owners here who cant imagine what happened. was it intentional? a terrible accident? nobody has a bunch of cyanide just sitting around the garage! its deadly dangerous to handle at all. my guess is someone was concerned about...

    We did another ride this morning. an hour and 15 minutes 15 miles. we might do a walk again as the brace is helping. he's off at the dentist this afternoon. there's this ripple effect where if one appt gets changed, everything downhill from that needs to change too. shannon we...
