were all going direct the other way--

authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the
superlative degree of comparison only.

Changing my life
Dear readers! I’m sorry
for my almost one month absence. My son had an operation and I understood that
life is the most precious thing in the world and we MUST enjoy every day! So,
from now on I am going to post quotations, short stories that inspire and
support in hard life situations.
Love Stories
Dear
