I'm guessing there's some kind of software problem which I'm sure Dave will straighten out as soon as he can. The duplicate posts are annoying but harmless I guess -- it would be nice if someone clean...

Post: Re: also, feet are designed perfectly!

Go barefoot in the house as much as possible, or walk around outside where there's grass. Your feet will never want to be caged again! Walk in the sandals before you try to run in them. You can do thi...

Post: Re: Post what you find very relaxing on your eyes

Right now what seems the most relaxing for me is the universal swing. I think this is because for it to appear I have to be relaxed (as soon as I start trying it disappears). The gentle rocking motion...
