I got better... a year ago,i couldnt climb stairs cos of my knee, so my boyfriend (now husband) had to carry me up three flights of stairs everytime I went to visit him.

Individuals make up those societies. One good person who knows how to lead can make ALL the difference. But, one jerk-in-charge can also make a huge impact.

The US Army has a nasty habit of unnecessarily wrecking ankles, feet and knees. From what I've seen, it's the worst of all the services. Even administrative types are messed up from being forced to run daily in formation. The primary problem is that folks are made to feel guilty if they don't run, so they run injured, and THAT is what PhilippinesPhilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15921214743105919057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18348841.post-66130484044558713692007-06-27T04:38:00.000+10:002007-06-27T04:38:00.000+10:00truly pray that i'll never have to deal with eiter...truly pray that i'll never have to deal with eiter.KAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03090582170365523716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18348841.post-3882212241325312422007-06-26T22:07:00.000+10:002007-06-26T22:07:00.000+10:00"Creamed?"
