ADVANCED MEDICINE FOR PAIN

Occipital migraines are caused by overly placid water intake.
Wafers, miming a skin with breezes plying dance from its surface,
can blend demurely with the whitened tongue. Black lips are one
sure way to titilate your spouse; another, less sure method, is
the rise and fall of treelines merging. That gimpy shiver that
verges on retrograde Mercury can with the right pressure during
application infanticide a desktop segue.
     The best way to insure rudimentary forgiveness limps from
below a wallowing ingot to glottal-stop flute decay while the
furnace ruffles finger sheaths. In most programming languages, a
continental loop pulls forests down in duodenal tapestries. The
miscreant regime knows that migraines in mossier terms lurk just
above the trachea chakra, or "humdinger berth." This is due to
the overwhelming instinctual mothering tongue's gondola fetters
that dither transparent gifs apart from reading aneurisms. It
doesn't mean squat. Even in a hunker, cumulus moot troth thinks
too vastly of savage love. Better to kibbutz in nibbles of
oleander when several veer one's way.
     Think, migraines are life's way of adding texture to one's
dormancy! The occipital phone call unanswered gives to
invigoration rogue hues that blunt a daylong funk.
