doryvien I run 1 mile at least 3x a week to bring my weight down. I've gained a lot since the holidays and I know I have to do something about it. I run and do brisk walking alternately. Yeah ,I believe running is a good way to keep you fit.

doryvien Hi Professor, I agree on all counts, including the part that says "most of us miss this part", referring to no. 3. Maybe because it's the most difficult to do, because doing it means taking another step forward or exerting more effort. Not everyone is...

june2248 @june2248 (154) 21 Oct 12

doryvien Hi June, I don't quite agree with you that these days it's easy to fall in love. Love is something deeper than physical attraction, or just a mere craving for companionship. I would say it's easier to be in a relationship, but even that depends on the kind...
