ElicBxn @ElicBxn (63849) • United States 11h

ElicBxn @ElicBxn (63849) • United States 18 Mar

Yes, I really do. In 7th grade I just could not see the black (green) board. This really wasn't new, but it finally got bad enough I was given glasses. And they gave me headaches... yes, but not because of the vision, because...

ElicBxn @ElicBxn (63849) • United States 31 Jan

News I haven't share - for a reason

ElicBxn @ElicBxn (63849) • United States 10 Jan

I took a fall back on the 3rd. I fell forward, which saves my back a bit, and I didn't break my nose, again. I scrapped my left knuckles and put a bruise on my chin. Apparently I did further crack my filling and had to have a...
