Michael @Wrexxo (5695) 15 Aug

It's 10.40 p.m.. Today was okay, though I've definitely had better days. My offline business wasn't great today, so I'll leave it at that. My online work was a bit slow too, but I know those days happen. I saw a video today...

Loretta It's such an unfair stereotype, since scammers come from many countries. We have quite a few here in the U.S. I hope you have a better prosperous day tomorrow.

This isn't a rat - it's a rakali

Judy Evans @JudyEv (386601) • Rockingham, Australia 14 Aug

The image is not that of a rat but of a rakali. It’s an Australian marsupial and often mistaken for the common brown or black rat. It was once called a ‘water rat’ but ‘rakali’ was adopted because of the negative connotations...

It's 10 21 p.m. and I'm finally home after being at the hospital with my stepdad most of the day. Like I said earlier, he's been admitted for four days, and seeing him like this is really hard. He can't swallow or eat, and, right...
