I resent the implication that my 9-5 depletes me of resources! Construction is a wonderful industry for artists. You do labour, which is exercise, communicate with people well outside your bubble, and get paid a damn pretty penny for it! I

Unless the question was answered in the first sentence ('Yes!' being one of the few single word sentences possible in English). In this perspective, the second sentence gives extra information instead of 'intentionally mislea

My $2 book purchase anecdata from last summer runs counterfactual to yours. The product never arrived and within 48hours of complaint the cash had been returned.

Recently went back to ios after a few years in the android sphere. Didn't realise how spoilt I had been until I tried to get some video and .mp3 files onto the device! After looking around for a while I found a very simple method using
