I will recommend you contact charlescyberwiz@gmail.com. He helped track my cheating spouse when i suspected he was cheating, all he requested for was a phone number.

If u need to keep track of the things your teens are doing on their phone/computer or track a cheater or scammer dont hesitate to contact him.You get unrestricted and unnoticeable access to your partner/spouse/anybody's social accounts,email etc.He will never disappoint u.

Thank you for helping bring this book to the world so this brave man has a moment of enjoyment before he's thrust into hell. <br />Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08995629732548331190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17040756.post-36642312378679237262017-11-13T10:51:55.111-05:002017-11-13T10:51:55.111-05:00This picture reminds me of why I’m writing a middl...This picture reminds me of why I’m writing a middle grade - for the children and spouses separated in times of deployment and war.

Thank you, whoever shared it.
I...What a great pic. Thank you, whoever shared it.<br /><br />I think this is actually on topic. Have you all read this gorgeous essay in Uncanny Magazine? It's long and I bookmarked it to read when I had time, so maybe everyone has already seen it. It's by Filipino writer Dimas Ilaw: <a href="https://uncannymagazine.com/article/shape-darkness-overtakes-us/" rel="nofollow">The Shape of the Darkness As It Overtakes Us</a>. I can't recommend this highly enough.<br /><br />Like most great writing, you think you know what it's about. Until it quietly reveals itself to be so much more. A powerful message for writers. And readers. It's also a compelling and heartbreaking perspective on what's been happening in the Philippines. Remarkable voice.<br /><br />If that's not enough to interest you, from a craft standpoint it's a deftly written example of intricate non-linear patchwork storytelling structure (I'm sure there's a more official term for that, but that's how I describe it). Really, make the time to read this.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17040756.post-9488311415442760892017-11-12T20:14:23.932-05:002017-11-12T20:14:23.932-05:00Colin - I would have paid good money to see that p...Colin - I would have paid good money to see that performance! <br /><br />Had a blast writing around Disney with the Orlando Nanos. A group from Lakeland came up as well. There were over 50 of us. Our group pic is on my Twitter.<br /><br />It was exhausting but I got a lot done. <br /><br />Apparently all I need to write well is a leather club chair, a giant chandelier overhead, and a guy in a tux playing a Steinway concert grand a few feet away. <br /><br />Apologies for all the typos earlier. Apparently I can't type well while I'm swinging from a hanging strap while Wild Bill Hickok drives a giant bus on a tiny back road.<br /><br />Good times!

It's technically a medical/disability retirement so he'll continue to draw a monthly salary. He's relocating to Seattle where his aunt will help him find an apartment and enroll in college.<br /><br />He's coming to visit us in December!! Can you tell that mom is very excited?!<br /><br />I'm very pro-military, even before my son enlisted. Did you know there's a Books for Soldiers website?<br /><br />http://booksforsoldiers.com/<br /><br />I hope everyone had a great Veterans Day weekend. Be sure to thank a veteran for their service.<br /><br />Dena Pawlinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14444683810125395220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17040756.post-23164576276822984042017-11-12T17:09:41.093-05:002017-11-12T17:09:41.093-05:00Fantastic picture.

My family showed their love for me by getting me up on stage with the Polynesian dancers. Needless to say, I do Polynesian dancing like a white Englishman ("No, move your hips!") It was embarrassing. For me, anyway. Thankfully, all photographic evidence of the occasion has been burned. I hope. :)Colin Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03292997431935215499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17040756.post-14649125278637962312017-11-12T13:37:58.935-05:002017-11-12T13:37:58.935-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Colin Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03292997431935215499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17040756.post-68691864706535148752017-11-12T13:37:12.106-05:002017-11-12T13:37:12.106-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Colin Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03292997431935215499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17040756.post-59202305737305030372017-11-12T13:11:24.184-05:002017-11-12T13:11:24.184-05:00*smiling**smiling*Beth Carpenterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02447148196867821907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17040756.post-72096593905313882602017-11-12T13:07:56.189-05:002017-11-12T13:07:56.189-05:00Thank you, Janet.
