There was the auctioneer, with his beautiful and inviting lithographic maps--all the lots as smooth and square and enticingly laid out as possible--and there were the speculators--and there, in the midst of them, stood Monsieur Poopoo. "Here they are, gentlemen," said he of the hammer, "the most valuable lots ever offered for sale. Give me a bid

feel that you need to know and understand me. During the past nine years that I have been in America, I have grown tremendously, changed from the wide-eyed and scared little girl to a proud and spirited grown woman. The transition wasn’t always smooth, and I wasn’t always patient, but you both were always understanding. And through your understanding I have learned. 5 I learned from you Dad, you who get out of bed late at night and into the snow to pick me up from Jeremy’s house after sessions

Even with clippers, which are pricier, there’s a point of diminishing returns. If you don’t invest about $250 or $300 for a sharp, smooth-cutting version, you’re likely to give your dog a hairdo that borders on animal abuse (or at least fashion victimhood). But highstatus, high-tech clippers that run as high as $650 won’t produce better results; in less-than-skilled hands, their

law got tough on child murderers. What do we want? We want the law changed to make it illegal to murder children and bury them in woodland. We want it to be made illegal for adults to work with children. We want an end to the ridiculous process of ‘criminal trials’ for suspected child killers. When do we want it? Now. ...
