They looked it up and checked many different websites until they found one that looked reliable. The information seemed strange so they investigated it farther to find that it wasn't reliable because it was many years old and many people had edited in the information even though the website was no longer able to be edited. They decided to keep looking for more reliable information and finally found a website that they could trust. They found the answer to their health problem on the website and was able to solve the rash with a easy fix thanks to the reliable information.]]> 2017-05-12 20:14:16 UTC https://padlet.com/katelyn_orth/t94o6xm194o6/wish/171576351
