Dear Laura, I am AncientStardust.com’s newest fan…having ‘MET’ you via Bob Oslon on OfSpirit.com.

Dear Laura, A woman says she is a healer and can cure my terrible shyness if I give her $300. I am in need of help but am unsure. She prays and attends church so maybe I can trust her.

Dear Laura, One of my friends recently let me down on something she agreed to. When I tried to tell her that I was hurt and upset, she got nasty and blamed me.
