I'd have been in a lot of trouble. I was very sick in my early 20s and from a not so well-off background. The doctor that got me back on track is world-renowned and I was able to waltz right in his office and see him for "free" like anyone

I kind of like the distinction between single quotes and double. One allows escape codes and the other doesn't (except for one - itself). Cool idea.

The exact thought I had. Having just released a widget this weekend I had thought about how to give it a thorough test. I'll just try it out on some different blog platforms was my sad idea. Then, this today. Thank you very much Gabriel!

There are multitudes of under-served fans in the region. Yes they go to Sabres and Leafs games. But the Leafs have the longest waiting list and the highest prices of any team (all while serving up a very sub-par on ice product). Tickets are
