Last year I put three name brand weed killers against each other. I was tired of forgetting which weed killer did a good job and ending up with half bottles of multiple different kinds.

Through a series of events, typical ‘male’ posture and inflexibility I have some back issues. I started seeing a chiropractor who commented that my demeanor seemed so relaxed, but when he tried to adjust me I was a tense wreck. “What do you do to make yourself so tense?”; he asked.
