Amazon frequently cock up. The wife hates real shopping so much that she would probably buy postage stamps on amazon, and you probably can. When they send a wrong item they seem never to want it back. No doubt […]

The view of the anti euth lobby is that there is arguably little need for the suffering part, the idea and aim being a ‘good’ death : with sufficient medication all the external appearances of a ‘bad’ death c […]
