The reflex arc happens when your doctor hits your knee with a hammer (do they still have those?) and you nearly kick her head in with a counter impulse. I came upon it when I googled Reflex Art supplies and up popped this involuntary that happens...
The connected world is a world of lies and deception. Switch on the internet and join the (un)happy party of information tourists. I think that before we open our doors to others, we should open the doors to our hearts. I'm not advocating a confession session...
