Good honest-hearted people wants these things. But today, in all parts of the earth, violence, crime, hunger and sickness are increasing.

I am just curious what brand and/or type of swimming trunks you recommend for comfort and style for regular water fun and lap swimming. I’ve never been a fan of Speedos, but I know there are quite a few other kinds and brands out there. What do you like best? Just curious to know.

I happened to notice a mouse come along and he was carefully dragging the sticky papers away from the area where he wanted to go to. Do you think a cat or dog would have the intelligence to do that? I am inclined not to think so.

1. It’s a snap for me, usually after hearing the song just a couple of times.2. It’s not too difficult for me, I can learn all the lyrics by listening to songs several times.3. It depends on how tricky the words can be, I’ve sometimes found out weeks, months, or years later that I’ve misunderstood the lyrics.
4. I can’t do it by listening alone, I have to see them written out to learn them well.5. I don’t even try; I’m more into focusing on the music than the lyrics. 6. I have a terrible memory in general, but even more so when it comes to song lyrics.
7. Two or more of the above.
