How To Kick Your Thyroid’s Ass: Speak When Spoken To?

Dear Thyroid — Sun, 20 Sep 2009 14:34:52 +0000

I’m really no good at setting up a scene. A scene as in, you know, literarily, on a page or screen to detail a certain time and space. Sure I went to school for this stuff, and have written enough 15-to-20-page personal essays that have been marked and inked-up with reminders to “show, not [...]
