Man, life can sometimes be crappy, right?! Actually, life can sometimes be more than crappy; it can feel like you are drowning in the stuff. And then there are levels of crappiness from spilling coffee on your laptop to dying from cancer or worse! I recently heard a lady talk about how she was raped…
The word has gone mad. Anyone with half a brain would have to agree. I thought it was bad that people would defend their right to murder their own children, but things have suddenly taken a major turn for the worse. In the space of a couple of years we have moved from the idea…
