It was not even a week ago that I helped a sister of mine remove a splinter in her hand, she had got it while building her new table.

While it is important to have tweezers in first aid kits, they are also a pretty rock’in song. There is a song called “Tweezer” and it is performed by Phish. “‘Tweezers’

People who celebrate New Year’s often believe that every year is exactly what it says to be, a new year – a new year to wipe the slate clean from mistakes or broken resolutions; to start over on life; to be a kinder person, which falls under the broken resolutions category; to simply start over. Every New Year, people get the chance to start over and make a change in their lives, and even the world.…

This is furthered by him going to say that “it didn’t make sense not to live for fun, your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb”.…
