“This week was a struggle”
Hi pals! I've been thinking about this saying a lot lately: "God won't give you more than you can handle..." You know what I've decided? I hate it. It's not true.

Soy sauce explosion and non-strategic canines
哈嘍 Any dog inside a fence will bark and clamor to get out. But once they are get out, most dogs run around for a while, sniff out the territory, then sit down by the fence. This is because they focused only on getting out and never thought of what to do after they got … Continue reading Soy sauce explosion and non-strategic canines
