Horrible. I will never shop online or in at a Rue 21 store again. Their customer service is crap. I have been messing around with them almost a month about my order just to tell me they have to refund my money because the wrong delivery company had my package. What the hell!? So ...
An English-speaking businessman who speaks near-perfect French told me this story. "One of my top employees was very competent, but everyone had a really hard time with her. She was so harsh and hard that I decided I had to have a word with her. ...
We sat at a table for 1 and 1/2 hours; when we got up to leave, my large handbag, which had been on the floor at my side, had disappeared. I can only assume that someone sitting near me, grabbed (stole) it along with his or her own bag. Neither my friend nor I saw ...
When I heard that my grandfather had died, the news did not surprise me. Granddaddy had slowed down for months. Whenever I visited my grandparents’ house, he was always sitting in the same, faded overstuffed chair near the front door, his spindly legs propped up on a gray ottoman. My g...

The next morning I looked into a mirror (yes, it took me 15 hours to look into a mirror) and the situation was obvious- my right pupil was 3 times bigger than the left. I had what is called a bilateral posterior ischemic optic nerve neuropathy (PION). So I did an internet search ...
They are open much longer hours than when they were run by French people, in my experience. Although there are many French Muslims, they are not yet completely Frenchified and are not seen as 100% French by large segments of the rest of the population. I would say they are in much ...
I would rather have a couple of his friends for the whole weekend than a houseful of wound-up children for three hours. At the end of two hours they're all irritable and annoying. I don't like other people's children. It unbalances me." *At least for now. The euro crisis is ...
