I’m a child advocate with CASA. We are appointed by local courts to be an extra set of eyes and ears for children who have been affected by DFCS action. It’s not tied to my day job but it’s very important to me. There are too many boys being raised without a positive male role model in there life so they are always eager to train male advocates.

In doing so, I catch the eye of the behind me. He smiles and says something. I just sort of nod and carry on with my call. After that, he keeps trying to talk to me, eventually I got to the check, say bye and leave. At security… tbc

If anyone he has done extensive laser hair removal (I’m talking full body), how much did your treatments cost and was it worth it?
