CRAIGS LIST FIASCO

OMG… I can’t believe how corruption can hit so close to home on Craig’s List. I put a laptop for sale and I got emails like this: See below:

I got hitched in Las Vegas in a whirlwind romance. My boyfriend of 1 month had invited me to Phoenix to watch a baseball game. We had a rental car with unlimited miles.

Skin picking is something that nobody talks about and it is more common than we actually think. It is a form of self-mutilation that affects a lot of people.
