Dana Bonarrigo 4/24/2019 12:47 PMLearning about the value (in more ways than one) of waterways confirmed my desire to live close to either a river, waterfall, pond, etc. when I buy my first home. I learned about the History of waterways close to me. Interesting stuff! -

Dana Bonarrigo 4/24/2019 12:42 PMThis is the link I watched about family planning. It was pretty interesting. I didn't feel like I learned many new things, but it still was valuable. I did learned more in depth about what can medically go wrong during an unplanned pregnancy. Scary stuff!
