Shake a Leg

I suffer from mild RLS. My mom has it pretty bad. My grandmother had it really bad.

Stupid real life, be less busy. 😉

I just found out about this link so I haven’t had a chance to read it. Still, I
thought it’d be polite to plug it.

As a person of Welsh descent, an appreciator of dying tongues, and a supporter of several underdogs, this is a matter of some importance to me.

Trouble in the Motherland:
