| I'm in a similar boat, in my teens I started this race against others, virginity, drinking, learning to drive (not at same time as drinking) were all these big issues, and I saw them all through a bit before most of my peer group.

| In the UK, it's not illegal to be a prostitute---but it is illegal to try to get sex from a prostitute, and to actually have sex with a prostitute. In the US, both prostitution and patronizing prostitutes is illegal. In the Netherlands, prostitution is totally legal on both sides. Just want to let ... |

| Hi, so I see this advert daily, whilst I'm streaming stuff. It's an annoying and cheesey one so my apologies for making you sit through it. My question is regarding the young repair man, I see him, from the moment he appears at the door and shakes the ladies hand at 3 to 4 seconds in, and then again... |

| I know who I am. Could I convey that to another person? Nope. I get what you mean. My reply is why define yourself to them?
