disagree; I believe that families should not have the right to set up their children with who they think best suits their child. I personally would not prefer my parents to set me up with someone who they think is a great person‚ because I have different standards then they do. If parents were to choose who they want their child to marry then they will be involved in the couple’s lives‚ therefore if the relationship is not working out the couple would be too scared to get a divorce because of what their

Blood lactate profile report Trained -v- Untrained The purpose of this test was to determine individuals‚ (trained and untrained) lactate threshold and subsequently interpret the results.

Fuck‚ it’s dark in here with very little space. I have been shuffling these red and black thoughts around like a Rubik’s Cube of blood and darkness. There is only one white piece that seems to create some space. When I try occupying it‚ black and red forms ooze in filling it‚ forming a purple sludge that eventually separates back into red‚ and black. I am so tired and the darkness suppresses me.
