welcome: what's new?
This is funny -
Ok...I am going to say that I am a pretty responsible person. First off, I can't lie. I have tried, but the truth always comes out. With that said, my back is freakin' killing me today.

Now, I know that I don't have a very physical job (although, I did just take out all the garbage because no one else will), so I don't have to worry about hurting my back further - it still hurts. In fact, the pain is throbbing in my back as I write this story.
