Now Chewing on Both Sides

For the first time since early january—looks much longer than just seven months it has been since—I chewed on both sides of my mouth. It feels terrific!

Extracted, Finally!

It never worked (or, I should say, I was never able to get it to work) even after I tried installing several packages/modules, configuration changes, etc. as recommended in web pages found on the ‘net. Because this [...]
