Do you have any talent?

Amber @AmbiePam (92708) • United States 23 Apr 22

cynthiann No I have never had this request in all my previous years at Mylot. I would have blocked them too and this is just so intrusive. Not a good thing at all. Never encourage the sneakies and creepies!

Denise @petatonicsca (7070) • Japan 30 Oct 17

I found, from living in various countries, that different cultures have different ideas of what we should eat when we are ill, either sick to stomach or cold. In the US, we ate chicken noodle soup and saltine crackers after a...
