My son woke up this morning and had a weird hot red spot on one side of his belly and an hour later it has turned into red little bumps. He says it’s not itchy and doesn’t hurt. 🤷🏼♀️

When my brother met his future wife, my parents and I were thrilled. She was beautiful, smart, nice, kind, down to earth. He was in love with her and started spoiling her with gifts (she is a few years younger than him). She subsequently got her degree in business and...
