My cousin and I talked a long time Sunday afternoon about diet and metabolism and exercise — and the effects of (practically) zero estrogen on the female body. One of those effects is how hard it is to keep weight off the waist/hips.

I’ve set up Twhirl (a Twitter client) with three accounts, in order to experiment with grouping tweets (sorta) by topic.

Back To The Future: TFM
