I meant to write my synopsis of the Avon walk on Monday, but I was tired and believe it or not, my feet were sore. They were even sore when I was sitting down and didn’t put any pressure on them at all. My toes were tender too. Very tender. My arches were the worst. …

16 June 2006 by YukonJen

One thing I like about the Internet is that you can find communities of people who are interested in things you like to do. They can be virtual communities, or you may actually get to meet them face-to-face. For any degree of weird fetish you might have or any topic you are researching, there is …
