Setting up my home/life here got very distracting, but I have nested now and am working on my MA online. It gives me about 3.5 minutes a day... |

| The Pina Colada Song! They played every hour or more when I was in my formative music years. Hated it then, and can't get it out of my mind once I hear the title now.

| Hi All, I have been reading the forums for a month or two now. It?s been very cathartic to finally read a site that makes me feel normal.
