How come Addison Russell hasn’t been in the lineup this weekend?
Tweaked his ankle a bit running out an infield hit the other day.
Nevermind, I see now and understand the power of the Mario Paint mouaepsd. (But still the other side’s on CARPET!)If you of all people tell me Call of Duty 4 is worth playing then, OKAY FINE DAMMIT, I will actually purchase a copy.
This would be perfect for my short-legged, lean liltte 4 year old princess.. She needs the length of a size 3 and a waist closer to an 18 month/2.. (And a 4/5 on top.. Poor girl.. short legs, long body..)
Yes, please note that nuts, seeds and beans sholud be properly preapared BEFORE eating. Raw nuts are best, but they MUST be soaked to reduce or get rid of the phytates (phytic acid), oxalates and other anti-nutrients. It is quite easy to do. SOAK with a little sea salt (I recommend Real Salt from ancient sea beds versus from our current polluted seas) at least 7 hours (there are variations, so do research) (many also need an acidic agent raw vinegar, lemon, whey, etc, so do research.); RINSE; put on a cookie sheet (or in a dehydrator) and DRY/CRISP for 12-24 hours. Best seeds and nuts you’ll ever eat, too, by the way. (The beans can be cooked after soaking, instead of crisping, of course.)
Ah, i see. Well that’s not too tricky at all!”
Thanks for the update…Russell is my darkhorse pick to be on top of next years prospect lists
