[nagdu] Walking on ice

Mon Feb 13 16:32:17 UTC 2012

Oh, I use those and love them.  You really can walk around anywhere with 
them and they have saved me from falling many times.

Lisa

I'd like an order of ambition, & a side of focus, and a large coffee. And 
could you super size that please? It really needs to last for the rest of 
the day.
