Even though it had been a gift from her grandparents, it cost as much in repairs as a new car would have cost in payments. While it had ...read more

    What happened to King Neb was unique --- I’ve never heard of anything quite like it --- a King eating grass for 7 years like an animal.

    My wife and her parents used a certain brand of ketchup for many things over a long period of time. They hadn’t had any of it, though, in maybe 30 years or so.
