Barnes and Noble therapy

Boys, you might want to avert your eyes right about now. I’m going to bring up a girly topic. Ladies, am I the only one who combats cramps with buying dvd’s, cd’s or books. Or, in the case of this weekend, all three? It doesn’t really work. But it gives you something to do when [...]
