Let's Juice: Comparison of 3 juicers to replace two meals per day

I Finally "Get" Twitter

Similar to my post on Blogging, I never really understood Twitter. Why would you spend the time to type a maximum of 140 characters into a website for the world to see? But now I get it, and I'm starting to use it. This idea of "ambient awareness" of friends
