One time I was travelling from Milan to Bologna Italy on a train. I remember I couldn’t take one of those new high-speed non-stop commuter trains because I had to stop in a small town called Parma.

From Milan to Bologna, you cross the Po Valley and the Padana Plain, which is all flat farm land. To the right of the train is the Apennine

I bet, you think I am arrogant person with own pride, who decided not to accept God in her life.

 If you would put in front of a person the brain of different people with different nationality let’s say he would have for instance an American brain placed here, An African brain on the right, a Chinese brain on the left and an Egyptian brain in front.  Now if he would be asked to leave the room and while he is out someone would shuffle those brains around.  When he returns would he be able to tell me which is which?  I bet you he wouldn’t be able to tell me to save his life or his breeches

1. They are students with a lot of essay and paper assignments and know that their writing skills are not the best.
2. They are adults who have writing tasks as a part of their job tasks and responsibilities

4. They are individuals who want to make money providing copywriting for any number of web-based venues.

The question then becomes, how do you enh

She smelled like vanilla, her voice was sweet. Their eyes met, and he fell in love. Alluring scent of vanilla turned him into a zombie. He was fascinated, but she was cold.

The memory of the smell haunted him and on the computer, the computer exuded the aroma of vanilla, and he fell asleep ...

And Madonna, the mother of three of the puppies, rescued from a slu
