Getting to know the locals

[MrsMay]

Yep my sister (aka the princess) has moved back home as well...

I think your cardio machines break from overuse Nat! They see you and say "No! I cant do it anymore! I'm tired!"

[sambibabe]

I didn't know you have a sister! Thought you were an only child somehow.
She sounds fun Love to hear more about her lol..

Haha.. Hubby said the same thing. It is not the machine's fault but the user's. I disagree.. I am trying to break it, so that I will have to go and buy the second-hand commercial unit. Never again buying another machine from Rebel.. I don't think their machines are meant to be used everyday lol.

thats horrible!

[sambibabe]

Oh you are such a multi-task person, Billy! Surfing Specktra, while watching Gilmore Girls I am watching 'Along came spider', while hopping mad (form of cardio) and checking Specktra at the same time.

[darkorchid]

Yeah I think right now everyone is a little miffed at Rihanna for letting women of the world down - esp those who have suffered/are suffering DV. It's like saying its Ok. Personally, I think its unbelievable given the details of the attack. I can understand a person can be talked into forgiving a slap in the face in the heat of an arguement...but biting, hitting your head into a car window...girl has issues.

She is only human after all - lets just hope it really doesn't happen again to her.

[sambibabe]

Yeah I agree darkorchid! I read an article, which said she was punched in the face as well. She has issues and he has bigger issues! I don't know how anyone could punch a woman/child/pet.
