I am a former athlete Leva L. When I stopped doing sports, I put on a lot of weight. Friends advised me to buy a slimming belt. There were no men’s belts at the store, so I had to buy women’s belt with rhinestones. Thanks to my Guardian Angel! A miracle happened and I lost weight! I am once again slim and handsome!

Dear San Antonio, please help my friend Willie find his silver belt buckle. He suspects the plumber took it. Maybe he just misplaced it. Give him the sentido to look in his top drawer.

To Lord of Chalma I prayed with all my soul so that he would help me to quit drinking. Every time I got drunk I beat my wife and kids with a belt. But I really love them. Thats’ why I quit drinking. Thank you for delivering me from this sin.

When Pablo came home he saw me chatting with some neighbors. He got angry and started spanking me with his belt. But I felt much more pain because Pablo though I was cheating on him. He yelled at me, cursing with horrible words, and threatened to leave me. I thank the Virgin of Guadalupe because he didn’t dump me and we live happily together.

Virgin of Guadalupe, thank you for helping me to quit my masochism obsession. I asked my partner to whip my ass with a belt because only this way I felt myself really satisfied.
