Although the average couple engages in sex for approximately 25 minutes a session only three times a week, it still accounts for 450 calories that are better taken off than put on.If you\u2019re more active than average, then that will only make things more beneficial for you and that lucky gal. A health benefit of sex, particularly a rigorous hour of sex, is that it may burn even more than 300 calories depending on how rigorous you get.<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>\u201cHoney!

Foyt] was mid-story-telling of how their race went at Indy, and suddenly I blew a driver\u2019s-side tag-axle tire on the RV. It just exploded on me, and got chewed up and hung up on the Jeep, so it started rocking around all over the place too. So I\u2019m trying to drive something that suddenly felt like a giant sprint-car, trying to keep it out of the ditch. I\u2019ve got one hand on the phone, one hand on the wheel, both feet on the brake pedal trying to get the freakin\u2019 thing slowed down but not wanting to interrupt A.J. mid-sentence or cut him off. But eventually when he paused to take a breath, I said, \u201cA.J., I\u2019ve got to take a break, I just blew a tire,\u201d and he said \u201cOK,\u201d and hung up.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong><em>College World Series Regionals<\/em><\/strong><br \/>\nGeorgia gets Florida St. today at 4PM.

It has been randomly accepting and rejecting discs, with no particular rhyme or reason.  The only constant is that Blu-ray movies would spin like crazy with a horrible sound.  Thankfully, the PS3 did not scratch any of the discs.<\/p>\n<p>Just for the hell of it I wondered if the drive was out of alignment.  I turned off the PS3, took a disc that I could a crap about, and forced the disc into the PS3.  After all, that is more or less what my two-year-old son did in the first place.  Of course I stopped at one disc; he went for three, but that story has already been told.<\/p>\n<p>I turned on the PS3, and now all is in order.  Strange.  Could have just been a random coincidence, but I was able to watch Spider-man 2.1, so I am not complaining.  Will have to give a game or two a go today to see if things are still on the up and up.<\/p>\n<p>If the PS3 is still working I am going to have to finally get <em>Ratchet & Clank Future: Tools of Destruction<\/em>.
