Abusive adoptive mother has no right to daughter’s money [...] tell your abuser the gravy train has stopped, she won’t be getting another penny, and cut off all communication. If you feel the urge to waver, take my advice and spend the money on a licensed psychotherapist who will help you understand that your adoptive mother does not have the ethical or moral right to anything more from you than you have already given. Because of this, they’ll get into our pool or hot tub naked if there isn’t a swimsuit around. Читать дальше...

Mike Trout followed with an RBI single. Chapman, who went to El Toro... Читать дальше...

Friday night’s game was rolling along with nothing at stake for the Giants and everything at stake for the Diamondbacks, who continue their unexpected run toward a wild-card berth.

The game came to a screeching halt in the sixth inning when Brandon Belt was beaned by rookie lefty Anthony Banda and immediately collapsed... Читать дальше...
