DallasDolly: @jelenajensen OMG!! poor thing! I thought at first the pain was my heart or something, so I'm glad its a rib muscle, but still!

SwindelleHunt: I want my heart to be as pure as yours. Without the pain and hurt. Set me free

padschicago: Difference is, he uses his for asthma. I use mine for asthma, and like I just did, for chest pain and heart problems.

baby_epple: RT @TherealTaraji: just thinking about Sandra Bullock and my heart is bleeding for her. She's such a down to earth and REAL woman. NO ONE deserves that pain.

AwwwBlanket: Smile when your heart is acheing, then take a knife and cut your hand to bleed out pain instead of tears
