A lot of people ask "why do you take your car to the dealer rather than an independent service shop?"
Well, it's pretty simple really. When you take your Honda to the Honda Dealership, your car is inspected and repaired by technicians that are required by the manufacturer to have hundreds of hours of training to be certified by American Honda just to work on car.
Every year, Honda develops new technologies. These new technologies are for the car and there is also new testing equipment for better diagnostics.
This equipment is expensive and the training is only offered to Honda Dealership technicians. This training is in addition to the ASE (Automotive Service Excellence) training that they also receive. Plus, we have Missouri State Certified Safety and Emission Inspectors here at the dealership for your vehicle safety & emission inspections required by Missouri. Don't trust just anyone with your Honda.
But there are also "Every Day Benefits" in coming to the dealership.
There are additional benefits too. Like they add a tire protection plan for free when I buy tires.
And, when I wait for my service, I enjoy a nice clean atmosphere with Wi-Fi and Free Coffee, Tea, Bottle Water and Snacks such as fruit, donuts and an assortment of Ice Cream Treats to sweeten your visit.
You'll be surprised how reasonable the dealer really is.

Stock Up On Life Insurance At Walmart
MetLife, Walmart and an iconic beagle with droopy ears have forged a partnership to sell life insurance to bargain-hunting shoppers.
The New York-based insurer now offers a prepaid life insurance policy in about 200 Walmart stores in Georgia and South Carolina. Packaging and promotional materials for the one-year policies, which start at $69 for $10,000 in death benefits for people ages 18 to 44, feature the puckish image of Snoopy, the "Peanuts" canine created by Charles Schulz. (See: " Is funeral insurance for you?")
The big-box chain store, headquartered in Bentonville, Ark., and recognized as the world's biggest retailer, follows in the steps of Costco, which began offering health insurance in nine states last April. Costco hooked up with Aetna in its insurance deal. (See: " Ready to put health insurance on your Costco shopping list?")
Walmart's clout attracted the insurer
Shane Winn, a MetLife spokesperson, said the joint venture with Walmart will provide the largest U.S. life insurer in the U.S. with access to the retailer's broad consumer base.
"With 84 percent of Americans having shopped there in the past year, Walmart provides the type of reach and scale that MetLife seeks, so we can bring this product to the widest possible audience," said Winn. Winn described the partnership as "a pilot program" with no immediate plans to offer policies beyond South Carolina and Georgia. But if sales are good in those states, he noted, it would make good business sense for MetLife to consider marketing to other regions. The policies vary according to age and how much coverage you want. People aged 60 to 65 pay $429 a year for $25,000 worth of coverage, while those 18 to 44 can get a one-year, $10,000 policy for $69.So how does the process work? Walmart shoppers buy cards equal to the policy's cost. From there, they'd call MetLife, which would ask questions about their health and, if approved, activate the policy. Those who don't qualify can get a refund at Walmart, Winn says. (See: " Life insurance basics.")
New life insurance trend: cutting out the middle-man
MetLife has made it clear since its earnings report in May that it wants to cut expenses by $600 million by 2016. One of the ways to do this is to focus more on direct sales -- like selling insurance on the web or at Walmart. Direct sales of life insurance could climb to 13 percent of the nationwide life insurance market in 2016, up from the 8 percent in 2010, according to a company presentation following the report.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

The design industry snapped out of a two-month decline with a three-point jump in the AIA's Architecture Billings Index (ABI) last month. The AIA reported the May ABI score was 52.6, up considerably from April's score of 49.6. (An index score above 50 indicates growth, whereas a score below 50 indicates contraction.)
The score for the new projects inquiries has been steadily increasing for the past four months. May's value was 63.2, up from 59.1 in April. The numbers in this category have been in positive territory (over the 50-point line) since February 2009.
The score for design contracts in May was 52.5, a decrease from April's 54.6, but still reflecting growth in the category. The AIA debuted this economic indicator in the March report to more accurately evaluate future growth within the industry. After rock-steady positive scores in 2013 for this new segment, this index has been fairly unpredictable since the beginning of 2014, with values rising above and falling below the 50-point line nearly every other month.
In the accompanying press release, "Activity has recovered from the winter slump, and design professions should see more positive than negative numbers in the coming months," says AIA chief economist Kermit Baker, Hon. AIA.
Here are the national and sector breakdowns.
National HighlightsNational Billings: After back-to-back months of contraction, the national billings value is in the positive with 52.6 in May, up from March's 48.8 and April's 49.6. Project inquiries: At 63.2, up from 59.1 in April, this category has seen increasing values every month since February and consistent growth for more than five consecutive years. Design Contracts: May's score of 52.5 is down from April's 54.6, but this newest metric in the AIA report does indicate a two-month growth streak.

Lawmakers To Hold Hearing on "Fracking" Regulations
The controversial drilling technique known as hydraulic fracturing or "fracking" will be the subject of a joint legislative hearing at the California state Capitol today.
As Amy Quinton reports from Sacramento, recently released fracking regulations have some lawmakers concerned.
The Department of Conservation recently released draft regulations for energy companies that inject chemicals into the ground under pressure to release oil.
The regulations would require companies to identify those chemicals unless they are considered trade secrets. Some lawmakers say the regulations aren't tough enough to protect public health and water quality. Tupper Hull, with the Western States Petroleum Association, disagrees.
"We think state of California is on the right track in creating a framework that provides the public confidence this technology is safe and a complete understanding of about what chemicals are being used, but still maintains the very important protections for trade secrets," says Hill.
One environmental group is suing the state for allowing fracking to expand without what it claims is legally required oversight. Regulators, environmentalists and representatives of the oil industry are scheduled to testify.

About 300 miles separate the old Dutch fort of Galle on Sri Lanka's southern tip and Mullivaikal, the strip of land in the north where an army assault on Tamil rebels ended a civil war five years ago.
The BBC's Charles Haviland travelled up the coast passing fish markets and seaside resorts, eventually turning inland towards the ancient capital and ending up in a desolate former war zone. These are the stories of the people he met on the way.

Heart disease is the leading cause of death for women in the U.S., but there's a lot you can do to reduce your heart attack risk. In this exclusive interview, Eliz Greene, a near-fatal heart attack survivor, describes her experience and what she does now to protect her heart health…
At first, the heart attack that almost killed Eliz Greene nearly 13 years ago felt like
Greene was 35 years old and seven months pregnant with twins at the time. Since starting preterm labor a month earlier, she had been in the hospital so doctors could closely monitor her condition.
Greene had to lie on her left side all day to prevent labor; as a result, she often had heartburn following meals. So the initial discomfort she felt on Nov. 12, 2000, seemed similar to the pain she felt every day.
But suddenly, "the pain became very intense," she tells Lifescript in an exclusive interview.
Next came nausea, vomiting, a cold sweat and "feeling like my bra size was two sizes too small," Greene explains.
They were all
symptoms of a heart attack
– but Greene didn't know that at the time.
The last thing she noticed before losing consciousness was "a big team of people in my room doing tests."
"I said to a nurse, 'Something's wrong,' and then my heart stopped," Greene recalls. "I received oxygen and CPR, but had no pulse for 10 minutes."
Like Greene, many women aren't aware when they're having a heart attack, especially when they have symptoms that don't mimic the classic sign of searing chest pain – or don't have any signs at all. About 64% of women who die suddenly of heart disease have no previous symptoms, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
And while heart attacks during pregnancy are rare – they occur in about 1 in 16,000 deliveries – they're fatal 7% of the time, according to 2012 research at University of Southern California in Los Angeles. That's 2-3 times higher than for non-pregnant women of the same age, the study found.
Now 48, Greene is the Milwaukee-based author of
Busy Woman's Guide to a Healthy Heart
(Red Dress Press). She also writes an award-winning blog,
Embrace Your Heart
, and is a national spokeswoman for the American Heart Association.
Lifescript talked to Greene about her journey from heart attack patient to heart attack survivor. Read on as she shares what every woman should know about protecting cardiovascular health.
You had a heart attack at age 35, while you were pregnant. What caused it?
My heart attack was an unusual complication of pregnancy. The pregnancy hormones softened the lining of my cardiac artery, and pressure from pumping so much blood to the babies caused the inside layer of the artery to shear away from the outside layer. It blocked the artery opening and stopped the blood flow. That caused the heart attack.
Mine was similar to a typical heart attack, but instead of a buildup of plaque blocking the artery, it was caused by the [artery tear].
How common is this problem?
This type of heart attack is rare. Since it happened to me, I've come in contact with 20 women in the world who've experienced it.
[Often] women die from it. Before you recognize there's an emergency, you're gone.
I was lucky to be in the hospital with medical professionals who figured it out quickly. They gave me the treatment I needed and saved my life. If I had been at home, I would have died.
The doctors delivered your twins while treating your heart attack. How did they do it?
The cardiologist on call revived me with a defibrillator [a device that controls the heartbeat by applying an electric current]. Once I was stabilized, they placed me in the intensive-care unit.
Next, I went to the cardiac catheterization lab [where doctors diagnose and treat heart conditions using tubes instead of surgery].
The doctors determined they couldn't fix my arteries in the lab; I needed surgery. They didn't think the babies could withstand it, though. So the neonatal doctors delivered my girls by cesarean section in the cardiac suite.
Fifteen minutes later, they started my open-heart surgery. My surgeon did a procedure called beating heart bypass. Using a special instrument, he stabilized small sections of my heart so he could stitch them while my heart was beating, rather than putting me on a heart-lung machine [which does the heart's work during bypass surgery].
How did your husband handle this?
During those five hours of surgery, my husband had to contemplate being a single parent.
The bypass went very well. I went to the ICU after the surgery, and was off the respirator 13 hours after my heart attack.
I talked to my husband and saw the babies 17 hours after surgery! I was in the hospital for three weeks post-surgery.
Could you have prevented the heart attack?
No, there's no way to predict this. It's very rare.
Being pregnant put a strain on my heart – it's not easy for your body to go through pregnancy. I'm preventing further heart damage by not getting pregnant again.
What's your heart attack risk now?
It's hard to predict. Doctors use certain models to predict your risk of heart disease. If your heart is damaged, as mine is, the risk goes up.
Statistics tell us that most people who have a heart attack have another one within 10 years. I've passed that marker. But I'm at higher risk of blood clots or a stroke.
I have a family history of high blood pressure and cholesterol. So I work hard to protect my heart the best I can.
As a heart attack survivor, how often are you checked by a cardiologist?
I go once a year. My doctor used to have me do many tests. One was a nuclear stress test, which shows images of my heart while I'm exercising and measures the blood flow to my heart muscle.
I don't get an EKG [electrocardiogram, which measures heart rhythms] every year. It's been stable for a long time.
My doctor makes sure that my blood numbers, such as cholesterol, are good. He listens to my heart, and he knows I'm feeling well from my answers to his questions.
Like many women, you're juggling work, marriage and kids. How do you carve out time to take care of yourself?
From the beginning, the key for me was recognizing that I don't get to take [life] for granted. None of us can. I was given the gift of a heart attack at 35 to prove it.
I know for sure that if I don't do the work to stay healthy, I won't get to be here. That means watching what I eat and exercising.
What changes did you make to your lifestyle?
The first thing I tackled was my diet. It took three years to lose the 80 pounds I gained from my pregnancy! [But] my weight's been stable for nine years.
I eat a low-salt diet [which is associated with a reduced risk of high blood pressure and stroke]. Learning to live without salt was hard. But over time, my taste buds have adjusted.
I almost always make a healthy food choice – I'd rather have a burger and French fries, but I'll have a salad if it will help keep me alive. And even when I'd rather stay in bed, I get out and take a walk every day.
What's your advice for those who don't like dieting and exercise?
I exercise because I have to. I don't like to do it.
We're under the fallacy that we're supposed to get joy out of it. Just do it. Do what you need to do to stay healthy. Cake tastes better than vegetables, but veggies are better for you.
One rule we enforce for our girls is that if they watch TV, they have to be on the treadmill or [stationary] bike. It's a good rule [for adults too]. Do something [physical] while watching TV.
What else do you do to stay fit and healthy?
There's an equilibrium at which my body is happy: I eat a certain amount of healthy foods, exercise a certain amount, and I feel well. When I mess with it, I pay. I have to work harder to get it back.
I'm going to Philadelphia soon for a 5-day speakers' convention. I know I won't be able to control what I eat, and I can't exercise as much or get enough sleep. So I'm being very nice to my body before I go, and will be again when I get home. But when I'm there, I'll do the best I can.
Life isn't about perfection. It's about moving in the right direction.
Any other advice?
Staying healthy isn't about changing a lot of things, but choosing something small and making it a habit. When that's under your belt, try another one. It all adds up.

A synagogue treasurer who died after falling from an office window had been struggling with severe mental health problems.
Jack Shemtob, who was 53, fell from the sixth floor of the Transport for London (TfL) offices where he worked in south-east London.
An assistant treasurer at the Neveh Shalom community in Harrow, Middlesex, Mr Shemtob had been receiving mental health treatment for around 18 months before his death last November and had spent time in a specialist unit at Watford General Hospital in January 2011.
While receiving treatment in Watford, Mr Shemtob stopped breathing after swallowing a deodorant can lid and spent time in intensive care. On other occasions he had bitten into glass and self-harmed.
He had also asked a doctor what would be the best method to kill himself.
After taking pills in his Rickmansworth home, Mr Shemtob was given drugs to treat depression and psychotic impulses. His brother Sam said that Jack Shemtob's strange behaviour was exacerbated by news he was due to be made redundant.
TfL bosses were so concerned about Mr Shemtob's health that they monitored his behaviour and security guards were asked to watch his movements around the building.
Sam Shemtob said: "Until the age of 50, my brother was a fully active member of society. He was involved in his local sports clubs and the synagogue.
"Jack was very ill in the last few years, but until that point he had enjoyed a full and normal life."
An inquest at Southwark Coroners' Court last week recorded a narrative verdict of death by jumping from height while suffering mental health symptoms.
Coroner Sarah Ormond-Walsh said Mr Shemtob was "a severely anxious man, and despite accepting all the help that he could from family and mental health professionals, he was considerably worked up preceding his death".
The inquest was also told Mr Shemtob had been restricted from accessing the upper floors of the TfL building, but this information was not passed on to some of the staff in the building.
A TfL spokeswoman said: "We note the coroner's verdict. Our thoughts and sincere condolences are with the family, friends and colleagues of Mr Shemtob."

Victor Valdes looks set to have played for Barcelona for the last time after tearing his anterior knee ligament in Wednesday's 3-0 win over Celta and will miss out on the World Cup this summer too.
The Spain goalkeeper picked up the injury with little over after 20 minutes played after diving on a loose ball in the box having failed to clear a free kick from the visiting side's midfielder Fabian Orellana.
He immediately went to ground, clutching his right knee and called for medical aid and, after a couple of minutes of treatment on the field, and was taken off the park covering his face, with Jose Pinto replacing him.
Barcelona said in a statement after the match: "Valdes has torn the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee and will require surgery."
The 32-year-old has already announced that he will leave Barca when his contract expires in June and his injury means he will not feature again for the Catalans.
In addition, the shot-stopper's injury has eradicated his chances of playing in the World Cup for holders Spain this summer.

The Laboratory of Renewable Resources Engineering
The Laboratory of Renewable Resources Engineering (LORRE) was established in 1978 to carry out research, training, and discovery in transforming renewable resources into biofuels and bioproducts. Renewable resources are exactly what their name implies - renewable - and provide a means to recycle carbon and mitigate the rise of greenhouse gases. LORRE's mission has stayed the same, while basic science has advanced in areas of molecular biology, yeast genetics, bioprocess technology, and biological and biochemical engineering. Application of engineering and biochemical fundamentals has increased understanding of the structure and function of the building block of plants, i.e., the cell wall, as well as the catalysts capable of deconstructing it in a directed and efficient manner. When this knowledge is coupled to the art and science of scale-up, bioprocesses and catalysts result that translate the fundamental work of LORRE into industrial systems that are economic, environmentally friendly, and sustainable. These processes contribute to a platform upon which a new industry is being built, and in which the Laboratory strives to be a leader.

Multi Sales
"In My Opinion, Buyers Won't Last Very Long Here--Unless Underpaid "
- Comp & Benefits
- Work/Life Balance
- Senior Management
- Culture & Values
- Career Opportunities
I worked at Multi Sales full-time (more than a year)
Casual dress code, good benefits. Quarterly merit based bonuses. Wholesale (customer) pricing is offered to employees, which can potentially save you a few hundred dollars or more next time your garage door needs replacing. The owner is a wonderful person who actually knows every employee by name and eats lunch in the break room, freely conversing with anyone and everyone, regardless of how high up or low down on the totem pole they are.
There is an alarming pattern in the purchasing department at this company: they appear to have a pattern of hiring a buyer at a fair market rate, giving them merit based bonuses repeatedly because their performance is good, and then suddenly treating the buyer as if half of the failings of the company can be traced back to her or him, and the buyer is now worthless, stupid, incompetent, and not worth what they're being paid, and in spite of working ungodly hours to meet the demands of the position, soon the buyer is either laid off or their work environment becomes so untenable that they quit. This happened to seven different buyers that I know of over a period of less than five years (although I can't vouch for all of them with regard to working ungodly hours; only myself)-- but this is in a purchasing department with only three people to begin with!! You do the math. Tremendous turnover there.
In my opinion, if you are offered a job here as a buyer, and you're not offered significantly less than fair market salary for your experience and background, you're probably not going to end up lasting there very long. And don't get too excited if you get a big raise here -- in a few more months that big raise may become the proverbial kiss of death for your tenure at Multi Sales in La Palma.
It is my opinion that you would be better off without you-know-who. (And I'm not talking about the head of the purchasing department either; I think you know to whom I am referring.) During the time I was there, this person created what is in my opinion a hostile work environment, by using primarily fear to motivate. Whenever the slightest thing went wrong, many employees were so busy trying to shift blame and avoid the wrath of this individual, they could not operate effectively as a team! Almost every single meeting I was in, it was someone's turn to get torn apart in front of their peers, whether deserved or not. You have the makings of a great company there. It's too bad it's ruined by the heavy handed management style of one person.
In spite of all the talk at Multi Sales about taking personal responsibility, the reality was, many employees spent a great deal of their energy attempting to shift responsibility, because peoples' survival instict kicks in when they feel their livelihood is constantly hanging by a thread. (And those unable to play the shift the-blame-game, who actually DO take personal responsibility, may soon find this isn't a good idea after all.)

Rick Perry shows no signs of dropping out of race during feisty debate
[nggallery id=2524] The Republican presidential candidates debated the merits of capitalism Monday at a free-wheeling debate marked by sharp exchanges between frontrunner Mitt Romney and challengers who accused him of destroying some American jobs in order to create others.

Winners and losers from Monday night's GOP debate
They're a fiery folk, these South Carolinians. It was a South Carolina congressman, Rep. Preston Brooks, who, wielding his metal-tipped cane on the floor of the U.S. Senate, nearly beat a senator to death. (Afterward, Brooks was overwhelmingly re-elected.) And it was students from the Citadel in Charleston who were so excited about war with the Yankees that they got in some of the first shots at Fort Sumter.

Craft Elite bib shorts £100.00
Superbly fitted shorts with generous leg length, although we'd prefer a little more depth in the seatpad
Weight 152g Contact www.craft.se
Previous Review
Next Review
With 10 panels in the lowers, Craft's top-level Elite bibs are a fantastic fit and they're flat-stitched throughout so there's no annoying rubbing as you pedal. They feel great.
The lightweight Elites are long in the leg – the inseam is 10in (25.4cm) – so even if you're tall they'll come right down to just above the knee, and it's quite a compressive cut. The broad, elasticated leg grippers come with loads of silicone rubber on the inner face that holds them in place even when your skin gets damp, so if you like to keep your quads well covered, these are a great choice. The main fabric stretches well in all directions so it never pulls or rucks while the uppers' mesh is so fine that it's barely there – it takes on hardly any moisture.
The Antimicrobial Elite Gel seat pad is pretty good too. It's not as deeply cushioned as some – it's 10mm at its the thickest – but it wicks sweat effectively and channels between the various contoured sections allow plenty of air to flow. We'd prefer a little more padding underneath the sit bones for long rides but it's still a comfy option.
While we're being picky – hey, it's our job – the reflectives are on the wrong side to be most effective for those of us who ride on the left of the road. They're on the left leg and butt, so they're facing the gutter rather than the traffic. They're still impressive shorts, though.

Jacques Villeneuve and Nick Heidfeld set the fastest times in Saturdays final practice session at Magny-Cours for BMW Sauber, the French-Canadian lapping in 1m 17.005s, the German in 1m 17. 049s. The times at the top were very close, however, with Jarno Trulli right behind in third for Toyota on 1m 17.056s and another eight drivers within a second.
They were: Nico Rosberg and Mark Webber for Williams (1m 17.188s and 1m 17.358s respectively); Jenson Button for Honda (1m 17.476s); Kimi Raikkonen and Pedro de la Rosa for McLaren (1m 17.556s and 1m 17.653s respectively); Ralf Schumacher for Toyota (1m 17.666s); David Coulthard for Red Bull (1m 17.859s); and Giancarlo Fisichella (1m 17.995s).
Renault only 11th quickest? Well, yes. Fisichella had an off-track moment in Turn 12, while Fernando Alonso was only 16th after a minor off in Turn 5 while seeking a faster time than 1m 18.447s right at the end of the session.
Ferrari were also way off the pace of the front-runners. Michael Schumacher had been fastest in 1m 18.214s when his Ferraris left-hand bank of exhausts caught fire in the pits, and he didnt reappear. Eventually his time stood up for 14th place ahead of team mate Felipe Massas 1m 18.396s, the Brazilian spinning early on in Turn 8.
Christijan Albers was 12th for Midland with 1m 18.059s, ahead of Toro Rossos Vitantonio Liuzzi on 1m 18.199s. Tiago Monteiro was 17th with 1m 18.487s, ahead of Scott Speed (1m 18.545s), Christian Klien (1m 18.631s) and Rubens Barrichello (1m 18.961s).
Franck Montagny was the leading Super Aguri runner on 1m 19.497s, but Takuma Sato had only reached 1m 21.497s when his SA05 ground to halt in Turn 10.
It will be interesting to see just who jumps up the order and who can retain their speed in qualifying, but you wouldnt bank on Renault and Ferrari staying where they were.

What's New
• Added compatibility for iOS 5• Miscellaneous bug fixes
• Updated user interface and experience
App Description
THE POTSDAM BLUFF by Jack D. Hunter (unabridged) is presented by Blackstone Audio and comes with what is perhaps the best audiobook app available (see FEATURES, below).It's 1945, and Stalin's army stands poised to conquer Europe. The only way to stop him is for Truman to bluff him down.
To make the bluff work, C.G. Brandt, America's ultra-professional but very human spymaster, is forced to risk everything on Alex Lukas, an under-trained but bilingual secret agent. Lukas must escort a Soviet defector who will parachute into Bavaria with crucial information. But the defector's plane crashes; there is a gorgeous Communist spy in the drop area; and Lukas can't believe the amount of well-armed interest in his movements.
Self-contained, this audiobook app is perfect for your commute, on a trip, or while relaxing. Based on a library-quality recording, this app was built especially for your iPhone and iPod Touch. No unreadable text, no endless scrolling on a tiny screen. The audio is of higher-than-normal quality, making for a great listening experience that will not tire your ears or grate on your nerves.
NOTICE: This app includes the exact same 5-star recording offered elsewhere at much higher prices. It was recorded at the Blackstone Audio studios by professional narrator Brian Emerson.

RATING: Suitable for adults interested in World War II espionage and intrigue.
"Accomplished storyteller Hunter keeps things moving apace in this thriller set during the closing months of WW II....Hunter's intriguing tale also offers a fascinating speculation as to the real purpose of dropping the atomic bomb on Japan." (Publishers Weekly)

I watched it for the first time last night. Eh, typical nonreality TV, I don't really like them but not enough to turn of the TV, but I'll probably be on the computer while watching them. Some interesting firearms to look at.
Texan By Birth & Choice USMC/VIET NAM VET
^^^^^ What HOSSFLY said I tried to watch it once and couldn't even watch one whole episode
To much drama if I want to watch a show about guns I'll go to the sportsmans Chanel.
Mamas don't let your cowboys grow up to be babies.
Hossfly has done it again! Summed up the show in one word.
"...from my cold dead hands" Charlton Heston & NRA "He which hath no stomach to this fight,/ Let him depart." Henry V
I liked the first half of the first season, just talked about guns and gun stuff, but the the producers started adding "drama" and that's when I stopped watching
First season I liked. Now every test-fire demonstration seems to be accompanied by explosions and big fires. Vehicles blown up. Staff running around clapping their hands and hooraying. Special modifications performed on military equipment, authorized by Hi-Level military personnel. (Identity protected) All seems a bit much. (But maybe thats the way it happens!)
Ugh. Used to watch it every once in a while for a distraction, but I just can't take it any more. At least it wasn't as bad as American Guns.
No offense and none taken (̿▀̿ ̿Ĺ̯̿̿▀̿ ̿)̄

Which dinosaurs are all my #jurassicworld fans most excited to see? No need to speculate anymore, here is the list pic.twitter.com/ZAeuw1jt1u
