For example, I learnt to express my dog's anal glands from Youtube. The vet would charge me $25 to do that each time (several times a year).ausiroohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13642455948372849081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13939263.post-68352493337437908122016-07-26T16:26:17.436+08:002016-07-26T16:26:17.436+08:00The internet, to me, is one of the best things to ...The internet, to me, is one of the best things to happen in my lifetime.

Though this is not proven, it is accepted that his speech development was slow as a child. I was curious about other known cases of brilliant people who were late talkers and about how much is understood or misunderstood about this phenomenon.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04854408960466254407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13939263.post-64682344483012615902016-07-25T09:21:12.470+08:002016-07-25T09:21:12.470+08:00How do you find such books?
