The restaurant was understaffed and we were consistently looking for water or searching for forks, knives, napkins, etc. This would have been easier to overlook had it not been for the final morning. Our group had 4 kids under the age of 5 and our tables were definitely not the cleanest....
“If I found out Emma was going into the voting booth and pulling the lever for Harris, that’s the same thing as having an affair,” Watters said. “That, to me, violates the sanctity of our marriage. What else is she keeping from me? What else has she been lying about?” Asked ...
I had no idea which direction Melbourne was, or I would’ve waved to the kids. After a while I got sick of the chatter from the school group, so I began to make my way down. Every now and then, I’d been sending texts to Tom32’s fiancee Sophie. She grew up on the slopes o...
Over the course of a few days in May, a collection of top-ranked high school basketball players descended on Memphis for the Allen Iverson Roundball Classic, an NBA-sanctioned event (meaning NBA personnel could attend to whet their appetites for future employees) hosted by one-time Memphis Griz...

These self-conscious murmurs may seem odd in a former school, butTuol Sleng, also known as Security Prison 21 orS-21, shot to prominence as an interrogation centre when the Khmer Rouge stormed the city in 1975. For four years it was a name to command fear, and a walk through the small...
CCD kids were not getting the benefit of a full Catholic education, and were to be pitied, especially since Catholic school kids were taught that every public school, right down to kindergarten, was something out of Blackboard Jungle. On the other hand, public school kids were usually *alitt...
Agreed. Think that’s one of many giveaways that this book initially took place in a high school setting. Everyone knew about who the “cool kids” were in neighboring towns, and it was super-cool to date someone “mature” from another school. I never read Pretty Little Liars or Gossip...
What I found were pleas from parents. A mother out of work said her family would eat, but there wouldn’t be any presents. A dad wrote that his kids needed school supplies. Parents with two kids, three kids, maybe more, were hoping for help with what they couldn’t provide. A dad ...
