Stretch Marks

Well, today is gym day and I am starting out with getting my muscles warmed up and stretched out, “lengthened” I suppose it would be said in today’s language. I am  “lengthening” this morning for 15 minutes before “video-ing”. May I register a peeve?  Gift is not a verb. Transparent used to be for sexy over or...
