Tuesday's funny saying of the week thing 4/2/13
Sorry for being so late with this!
I consider conversations with people to be mind exercises, but I don't want to pull a muscle, so I stretch a lot. That's why I'm constantly either rolling my eyes or yawning.

Blocking Links?
Someone has been spamming me and leaving me links in the comments section that lead to not so great websites. Does anyone know if there is a way to block anyone posting links in the comments?
Oh, BTW, I'm sorry I haven't been posting the Obscure Holidays and stuff, I have been on a retreat the past couple days (w/ out a computer) but I will post everything I missed in a big post later.
