"Yep to all" Did someone robotize Babsie or what here
Sure don't seem like the Babsie I used to talk to...
I thought it was just me, but with a response like that...maybe it isn't just me.
You feelin ok Babsie?

Me, too. It's a fundemantal for Zen. Holding in the darkness leads to depression, let the Sun shine on your soul

 

[oaktownboy]

Babsie, I'm sorry to hear your not feeling well.
I sensed something was wrong, but couldn't put a finger on it.
I too have been under the weather for the last 3-4 days with a cold . I still forced myself to workout though. I hate being sick.

Well anyway...hope you get better soon Babsie...

I need not reply. My stress goes away every time I sacrifice a chicken.
