I was epileptic as a child. By my 20s, I had grown out of it.

Parkland looks like a great place, doing good work. Good luck.

My Dream Job is to be the international researcher and on-site fact checker for Ripley's Believe-it-or-Not.

They have never responded to my requests for employment.

Good Luck to you in your Dream Job.
