I never thought that it's possible but my best friend is making $10000 every month working this job and she told me about it.

I remember if I don't want to eat as a kid, my dad told me that let's do a game boy let's see me and you who will finish his plate first, the first to finish is the winner then I quickly eated my food before, him but when I grow up I realise that it is trick for me to eat.
Telling your child that something bad happens when it cries is child-abusing!
Most of them are abusive. No wonder there are so many sick people around.
