The best thing about jobs is that they pay money. That’s kind of the whole gig. Sure, there might be some jobs we’d be willing to do for free, like playing with our amateur garage band at the local pub, cleaning up our grandmother’s yard, or helping a friend move (unhappily, but I’ll do it.) …

Wacky Lady Claims She Can Cure Bad Eyesight With Essential Oils
