When a craving attacks
What do you do? I am craving cake so bad and of course my husband wanted me to make him a strawberry cake w/ vanilla icing and now it's making me want it.

Injuries..
I dislocated my knee when I was 14 and again when I was 21. Same knee both times. I am now 23 and just recently it has been bothering me more than ever. I am going to the doctor Tuesday for a check up and plan on asking about it. Does anyone here have previous dislocated knee histories? What did you do to get past it?…
