    Today, I went to the beach front with my children. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She placed the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is completely off topic but I had to tell someone!

    The core of your writing while appearing reasonable originally, did not really settle well with me personally after some time. Somewhere within the sentences you actually managed to make me a believer but only for a very short while. I however have a problem with your jumps in assumptions and one might do nicely to fill in those breaks. In the event you can accomplish that, I could surely end up being impressed.

    Along with every thing which seems to be building inside this particular area, all your points of view happen to be quite refreshing. Having said that, I appologize, but I do not give credence to your whole plan, all be it exciting none the less. It would seem to everybody that your commentary are generally not totally justified and in fact you are generally your self not totally confident of your assertion. In any case I did take pleasure in reading it.
