Financial crisis
I am just curious as to how everyone feels about this. I have a hard time following politics and Im not going to debate anyone on who should be president or anything.

Just a little thing
I started this website 1 1/2 months ago. That is when I started working out. It may be a little longer.

Now when I do that it is about 80% or…
