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 Cancer runs in my family. Some members waited too long to seek help and are gone now. My mother, however, is a survivor. She has battled colon and brest cancers and has beaten them both. She is in her 80's now and proud of it. Cancer doesn't have to mean death...

Shinersma123 I am always forgetting something. I make a list and either forget the list at home, forget I have it with me or, even if I read it, somehow always manage to overlook at least one item on it. I live an hour and a half from the nearest city, and when I forget...

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...

gorjuzliz10 @gorjuzliz10 (201) • Philippines 2 Oct 08

Shinersma123 If we teach our children by example, I believe they will choose a profession that will make us proud of them no matter what it is. If we try to force them into doing what we want, will they be happy and do well, or just plod along and always do what others...

aprilten @aprilten (1966) • Philippines 30 Sep 08
