Exactly.  Did you force the girls to strip to their undergarments or not?  Answer the question, EMS.  And how could cooperation be voluntary (as they claimed to an outraged mother) if the one who refused to comply received in school detention? 

I live in the district and my family has had plenty of our own dealings with the schools.  I believe the students.  I think the majority of the community does.

This is my school district. I have not heard the first hand accounts, but I can tell you that the community very much believes that these girls were indeed subject to a strip search and that those who are denying they did this are liars.

In my own experience, the district is awful and has no regard for student safety.…

Not quite. Briscoe and Logan. (But Green is near the top, too.)

The irony is clearly they haven’t read *her* books.  If they spark joy, she’d tell them to keep them.  So much for all the readers either not knowing enough about what she’s actually written, or having reading decent reading comprehension if they did read her stuff.

Sometime in the early 2000's Lowes had a crazy sale that was really a typo — Artisan model in your choice of colors for only like $75-$100, something like that, if you placed it as a custom order on their website and had delivered to the store for pickup. I was a frequent visitor to a money discussion board on a site…

I’m still bitter about the Working Families Party endorsing Cuomo and not Zephyr Teachout in the last Gubernatorial election. Feeling those regrets yet, Bill Lipton?

Please, please tell me that she sues Sargeant Dad, too.

They should making another one for cats, except with Neil deGrasse Tyson. My cats find nothing more soothing than his voice. We have a recent rescue who doesn’t like one of our other cats and hides away from him (and everyone else). But even though she’s hiding of her own accord, she howls like crazy because she…

This has rendered the PoGo+ completely useless. I was a huge fan of the PoGo+ when it came out, as it allowed me to spin stops while I was out driving. As a suburban player, I have to walk forty minutes each way to hit three stops. (Which I do, at least twice a day). But that does not allow me to collect enough balls…

I swooned myself into a coma when I first saw her in that dress. It’s my favorite, too.

Same here. I didn’t get the update until the tail end of the wave, and had been anxious to see what it was about. When I finally could update, I was initially disappointed, thinking how useless the messages were. But when I started playing with it, I realized how incredibly useful it was, especially paired with Poke…

To those implying that it is *just* Nike behind the requests to remove the posts, don’t be so sure. While I’m certain Nike has pushed for this, the USOC is the same entity that sent a Cease & Desist letter to the knitting social media site Ravelry, to force them to change the name of their Ravelympics. Because…

The thing with some of those books (and I mean those exact titles you mention) is that some of them were free at one point as part of a promotion, and I suspect that even if one *bought* a title for $0.00 from one of those publishers, it still counts toward the settlement as if it were purchased at the higher price. I…

I just used $40 of my ~$160 credit on home improvement stuff, so it would appear that yes, you can use it on anything and not just ebooks. This is great. The last round of settlements I received about $80, which was nice, but that was limited to spending on more ebooks. Not that I had any trouble doing so, as…

A nursing student taught me this trick many years ago and I have never found a faster way to combat brainfreeze. Weirdly, I never meet anyone else who has heard of this method, so I pass it along every chance I get. When the brainfreeze strikes, make a fist, press against your lips, and blow into it in one long…

I do this too. My husband and I start each morning with an early alarm for a “kitty cuddle bonanza”. When second alarm goes off it’s time for kitty breakfast and starting the rest of our day. Those first 10 minutes are my favorite.

For me the most satisfying parts of the finale were seeing Peter’s long overdue apology and thank you to Eli, and then later finding out Eli was over him and ready to throw him over to support Alisha. I hated what Alisha did to Diane, but then again, those two have stabbed each other in the back before and found their…

My dryer is older than me (early 40's). It did break down last year, but I was cash poor after having bought my house, so I took to the greatest DIY resource of our time (youtube) and learned how to fix it myself. I was just hoping to get another few months out of it, but it’s been going strong for a year. One of my…
