   77Mercy replied to number41's topic in Addictions

   77Mercy replied to number41's topic in Addictions

   77Mercy replied to Mik Tea's topic in Nurses Recovery

   I have never heard of that and I know that if someone told me to spread my legs so they could see better as the one person said they did to her- I just couldn't do it. I had enough problems just...
