hidinginpublic Yes and it was comforting knowing that. I just hear a lot of horror stories and not enough good stories. It was nice. Not sure what else to say at the moment. I hope you are doing well.

hidinginpublic I definitely think she wasn't singled out by the judge. He was implementing the law. If he had let her off that then would have been singling her out. That would tell the world that as long as you have money you can do whatever you want. I believe she will go...

hidinginpublic I would take the million dollars. I would get myself out of debt, buy a home and a new car. Then I could put the rest away and find the job I've always wanted and travel if I wanted. I feel that once I am out of debt I could live far more comfortably.

hidinginpublic I think more research on all drugs should be done. The only reason that ecstasy is even considered a illegal drug is that someone started misusing it and that misuse became popular. Ecstasy was originally created to be a drug to help depression and marital...

hidinginpublic For me it is not one thing exactly but more of a box of things. I put my daughter up for adoption at the age 5. I have many pictures and a blanket and a few things that I kept from when she was with me. If I had to move and could take nothing else with me it...

hidinginpublic I am not sure if I would say I would go frequently. I would definitely go once or twice to see what it was like. I would never picket such a place. For me I don't use marijuana for recreational uses. (Not saying it's not good for that every now and then! (:...
