Ritchelle @Ritchelle (3790) • Philippines 25 Mar 09

jengoss I don't blame you at all about being scared of reptiles. My family thinks I am crazy because I am scared of snakes. They didn't used to be a big fear of mine, until July 2007. I was outside and was bitten by a poisonous snake. I now have a big fear of them. If...

jengoss It could be that some people are just not ready for the role of parenting. It might also be in the way that they were raised and they might fear taking on the role for themselves. I am not sure about that either. Everyone has their own opinion on having a...

jengoss Did you delete it? If so, then check in your trash folder. I am not sure what you should do. I am assuming that you are talking about an email. I am also not sure what email site you are using. I use yahoo, and usually if you open an email and delete it, it...

jengoss I am a big fan of this show. I feel that it could be good for the celebrity to let others into their lives, so that everyone is able to see what they have gone through. It also shows that they have their problems too. They may make more money, but their lives...
