Rachael Alice I also play the harmonica, it is not so difficult, and actually has lots of health benefits because you get notes when you are breathing in and breathing out. You have to really control your breath, and you have fun doing it!

Last week on Sunday, I had such a drive from another village close to Jerusalem, it took me about an hour and a half to go 20km, that I told myself that I wouldn't go this week. So, I didn't expect that there would be a WAR,...

Rachael Alice I think that many back Netanyahu, because he has basically shut down the opposition. They don't have a viable canidate, and have not been able to get a no-confidence motion passed. That being said, I believe that after 3 days of bombardment from Iran,...

Rachael Alice I agree it is not necessary what the governments have done to provoke this war. What Mr. Trump wants to do is distract the people from all the problems that are happening in the United States, Social Secuirity ICE raids Food prices going up Epstein...

Rachael Alice I understand, but what I object to is that we have to use our own time to fill out these forms, before I could fill out my time card at work, and now I have to do it after work. This particular job is teaching music after school and this school doesn't have...

Rachael Alice When I was a kid we made up stories and dialogs for the dolls. We had them go to school and learn the alphabet. I like the shoes of the Down's syndrome Barbie. I never liked the high heels anyway.
