Neighbor children bully my child. What to do?
I find our neighbourhood children quite brazen too. I am surprised that such young children (3-5 year olds) are allowed to play outside unsupervised - in our case in a busy driveway where they do not realise the danger of running in front…

Beliving in Reiki?
I have also felt this heat - actually felt it moving up and down my spine - and I always felt very relaxed after reiki - like I'd had a good massage, which is amazing when you consider you haven't been touched. What turned me off, was…

SBB terrible service!

'I'm a whore and proud of it'
The key for me is that she wouldn't be happy if her daughter followed her in the trade - how can she be proud of what she does? How does her daughter feel about the book being on sale, and her friends reading it, I do wonder. Being 15 is…
