not because he was in trouble but because the parents had called the school to complain about their son's scuffed water bottle and wanted it replaced. They asked for $23. I wrote a check and was tempted to add a snarky comment, but I didn't. Yes, my son should keep his hands to himself, but the water bottle is still functional. My son apologized.

Igniting fireworks from the same spot repeatedly can seriously singe your lawn, which might end up needing replacing after just one night of fun. Although lawn itself might be relatively inexpensive, when you factor in the turf, labour and installation costs, this could end up costing you 15 per square metre. So for a UK average garden size of 50 square metres, you can expect to be set back by 750 in total.

Holiday decorations and celebrations seem to bring out the worst in many homeowners' associations. Over the years, I've heard so many HOA horror stories of banning decorations or having draconian rules about what homeowners can put up, but a Halloween notice from an HOA that's going viral now is definitely the wildest one I've ever seen.
We were stressed about Hurricane Melissa. Authorities told us it would be a Category Five hurricane. They said, "We've never had a hurricane like this before. It's going to wreck the place. Prepare, prepare, prepare." When it finally arrived, it wasn't the worst I've lived through, but it was rough. I sheltered at home with my wife, and the wind and rain were so strong that we couldn't see anything. Outside our window, it was all just white - a white spray of water everywhere.

I used, at the White House, the most beautiful marble and stone available anywhere. Surfaces are very important to me as a Builder. As everyone knows, I built many GREAT Buildings, and other things, over the years. [Ed. Note: Name three, and none of the ones you slapped your name on count.] At the White House, I am very proud of the beautiful stonework we did in the Rose Garden, in this case, using limestone plus.
I literally spent my entire life savings on this house. So basically, a very nice old woman ploughed into the front of my house tonight. Smashed the wall, the wall flew across the street, smashed into my car, smashed into the house, has done unbelievable damage.
