Shinersma123 It is a scam that, once you give the info out, will get ahold of any funds linked to you. I was approached with one like that by snail mail years before e-mail came into play and reported to our local police who laughed at it. I looked into it myself and it is...

Shinersma123 I really dislike the sound of a ringing telephone. It is not because of who or what news might be at the other end, it is just the ringing sound. It doesn't even matter if the ring is a warble or music played on a cell phone. A ringing telephone of any kind...

Shinersma123 Sometimes if you push a person too hard to do what is right, they won't. I am sure that there will be a day when he forbids her to do something that she really wants and she will come to her senses. Until that day, look for signs of physical abuse and go after...
