Are you kidding me? Did you see how many articles there are in that search result? Over 30 at the very least. What I was implying by giving the link was, there is overwhelming evidence, not that I'm lazy, but that people who ask "

I agree, which is why I upboated you. My wife is a stay at home mom. Makes life way better for all of us, much less stressful for the children and she enjoys it. I wish more women would consider it, especially if their husbands make a livin

Good ole' Nesticle. I remember I was so pumped because I could play the Japanese Final Fantasy's that never got released here. Then I was part of the Destiny of An Emperor 2 translation beta into English, that was fun. I was in...
