I still love that how to fold a shirt one the best. Now to get cracking on those love handles.

They're using a white powder to fix burned coffee. It's not sugar, and I assume it's not cocaine... is it salt?

wow... too bad I likes me potato skins. But if I'm ever making up some mashed potatoes or gnocchi, I know what I'll be doing! :)

And yes, I agree that the folding shirt is way better. And that "lose the love handles" link is way too long for a "do twisting side bends" summation.

rxrfrx-do you speak Japanese, or are you speculating? I thought maybe MSG. I must know.

I speak Japanese and it is salt.
