iola2012 We have a lot of concepts, if we do win a lottery. Some would say, trip around the world, put up a business, share the blessings to others, and among others. We still need to let ourselves down to earth, money is just a material thing.

iola2012 I can't see any problems of having wet hair in public. If you are busy, doing all the errands and stuff. Why worry of what others think about you. At least, the lady has the sense of hygienic practice.

iola2012 In my own opinion, we can be truthful if the leaders in the government could act as a priest. Sad to say, the viability of having a perfect government system can not be attained with so many issues.
