Two years ago I got my son a hamster, it lasted less than a year. Aside from the dogs trying to eat it all the time, by youngest daughter was always hiding it and trying to take it for swims. Now, one of my eldest daughters friends is moving and has to give her gerbil away (I have no idea...

Some of you might know the history here, most probably not. We live on a north/south street. The neighbors to the north are big ol meanies that have hated us for the last 6 years (Jerry & Marie both in their mid 60's). My youngest daughter was running once, tripped and fell, and skinned her...

Their 'auditions' at the talent agency turned out to be a scam, at least as far as I am concerned. After getting dressed up and doing a first interview, they went back for a second today, along with pictures they asked for. Suddenly they want you to sign an open ended contract that says you pay...

Went here tonight with Sushi, here is my review, Shush will post his after mine, as he was there first and had some experiences I did not. The waitstaff: Pleasant enough, average service, she made a mistake or two but it was kinda funny watching her. She looked and acted very nervous. Never...
