I will never get used to having my purse searched for no good reason. Yes, I entered a public event. However, I had 5 children with me and if you talked to me for 5 minutes, I’d bet good money that we’d find a personal connection. “My father goes to that church, too.” Was I […]
1. Why does Evan throw everything in the sink while Amy throws everything in the trash? 2. Doesn’t anyone want these stupid nifty server racks that have been in my bedroom for years? 3.
