		<description>Or knees. Or cock. Or you know, that chick that really liked you in ninth grade. Advice is the easiest thing to form.

But anyway, &lt;a href=http://trilema.com/2011/cum-era-sa-il-pleznesc-pe-unu/ &gt;Romanians are fags&lt;/a&gt;.</description>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;When’s the last time you did something as banal as negotiating your medication with your doctor ?&lt;/blockquote&gt;

I'm becoming an expert. Maybe I should teach classes on how to understand doctors, read between the lines, make them actually try, etc.

The key seems to make them think they came up with it, and don't make it too obvious that you know what you are talking about.


vi. Is surprising; I've done many procedures without anaesthesia. It isn't that terrible and you can signal when things really hurt, which, if you couldn't, would probably mean worse things later. Maybe Romanians are fags or something.


By the way, if I had to chose only one thing to give as life advice, especially to young me, it would be "take care of your teeth".</description>
