Five years ago I would never have thought it possible.

When I drive down the local interstate, I see billboard after billboard of law firms who sole specialty is bed sores.

Superman died from bedsores.

Americans love to sue.

Can you give some idea of postage costs to UK. I’ve tried to see but need to register to find out.
Thanks

I apologize for the financially raped feeling you must be experiencing but as you know most Americans aren’t mature enough to realize that this is unacceptable; as George W Bush said “Americans are very meek” and he said it with a kind of pride as if he was thinking that meek people are easy to take advantage of.

So nostalgic and yet totally modern. Thanks for making my evening.

Is there a way to donate without buying anything? I wanted to let my friends know since BME isn’t quite their taste.

Thanks – (we’ll be supporting come Friday)
