► For the past few days I've had an unusual sore throat. Normally a sore throat means itchy and scratchy pain, but this time I don't have that. Instead the pain feels more like a crushing pain, as if someone is digging their fingers into the sides of my windpipe.

I said that was fine with me as I have a bunch of Burger King coupons that came in the mail (we got 1 sheet and one of the other tenants left a sheet atop of the mail-slots, where everyone seems to dump junk mail). Although it looks like I won't because Dad asked what day " ( Read more... )
