Did you join XOC at some point in the past, make a few posts, and then disappear into oblivion because real life or something else got in the way?

It was once corn, then it&#39;s popped and it becomes a fluffy little ball. It might seem harmless enough, but I&#39;ve come to realise most people have very
distinct opinions of popcorn. How about you? Do you worship every popcorn you put into your mouth or do you hate the little buggers with a fierce vengeance and

How do you like them? Sweet and sugary, or salt and buttery? Micro-wave, old fashioned on the stove, or the ones... ]]></description>

why are older folks glossed over by the media, especially when they are victims of teen or young adults speeding. The forty-six year, did s/he live, if the
person lived, is the person crippled? No offense to the younger members here, since I have a gut feeling none of you would be driving 100 miles an hour, but
