Bubastes, Cat Goddess*	Have you tried putting your feet on a small stack of magazines? This usually happens when you've sat there for so long that you've cut off the circulation in your legs. Don't go in there to read your newspaper, that's not what that room was designed for. And if your having problems with it being slow, you might want to add either more fiber to your diet or add some Canola oil to your veggies or salads. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No
