For qn2.
There's always the leap year, when there's 366 days in a year.

For meiying.
So are you saying its locked on just THAT day?

Anonymous said...

Well, no.
Just that you said "24 hours a day, 365 days a year". So I'm just trying to remind you that there's the 366th day once every four years.

question 4,
i'm not really sure about this,
but maybe it's because different families are living in different houses, so they're apart from one another, you get it? if people are apart, they are not together in the same place, or not having a relationship with each other.

question 5,
if i'm not wrong about this, olive and coconut can be eaten ? so since olives and coconut can be eaten, olive oil and coconut oil can be eaten too. baby oil dont come from anywhere, people give birth to baby, and people "give birth" to ideas to make baby oil.

rehab is not for quitters,
quitters can be quitting lots of different kind of stuffs, but rehab is the process of curing someone who has an alcohol or drugs problem.
