It's really too dangerous to have people in the sea with the whales.
work order people
Most people spend most of their days doing what they do not want to do in order to earn the right, at times, to do what they may desire.

It's getting pretty ridiculous, but what can you do? You've got to have it. You've got to go places. You've got to live your daily life.

I was crying, I was laughing, I was trying to stay calm to talk to her to keep her calm.
