How often do you deadlift?
Just wondering. What other people do because I'm bored and nosey. I'm starting to remember how much deadlifts wipe me out, not just that day, but also the day after.

On to the next one
Whoa.. my first topic on Single Peeps. Anyway, I met a somewhat cool guy from OKCupid and we had our second date last night. Our email exchanges were fun and we seem to have similar senses of humor and world visions. The only thing is that he has a horrible attention to detail. 1- On one of the emails he spelled my name…
