So if u wanted to hear a funny coincidence i got one for you. I walked outside my door just now to go do some work outside, and I chose to go outside barefoot again. Well that didn't work so well, I just spent my last 10 minuets picking glass out of my foot and stoping my foot from bleeding everywhere. See the thing is i probably should have learned my lesson about this a few times now, and it definitely hurts. But i don't think it's enough pain to make me change my ways.

Unfortunately no shoes no service, and a lot of people find it dirty to walk around barefoot all day. point is it's definitely a really funny coincidence that I made that other post not more than an hour before cutting my foot.

Admittedly, I had no idea what questions to ask or where to start, but thankfully Iqbal came prepared for this lesson. He opened a large drawer underneath the counter, revealing countless honey-jars repurposed for spice containment. “In just about all religions, spices have been used as disinfectant,” Iqbal tells me as he passes me a handful of cloves, prom...
