    Today, I went to the beachfront with my children. I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said
    “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She placed the shell to her ear and screamed.
    There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear.
    She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is
    totally off topic but I had to tell someone!

    Hello there! Do you know if they make any plugins to protect

  21. tinyurl.com says:

    I think that what you published made a ton of sense. However,
    what about this? suppose you added a little content?
    I ain’t suggesting your content is not solid, but suppose you added a headline
    that makes people desire more? I mean Echo Park Lake bird species decline in recent count
    | Echo Park Now is a little plain. You should glance at Yahoo’s front page and see how
    they create news titles to grab viewers to click.

    You might try adding a video or a related pic or two to get people excited about
    everything’ve written. Just my opinion, it might bring your blog a little bit more
    interesting.
