The suspense is killing me:
I'm not a follower of the TV series, “Prison Break,” but I noticed that it's in its third year. Geez, when are they going to pull off that escape? And hasn't anyone on the other side of the bars gotten suspicious yet?

“My house was broken into and luckily I was not at home,” writes Barbara Grubman of Woodland Hills. “Whoever did it took mainly costume jewelry, albeit, lovely items.”
But here was the real insult.
“The way they took it out of the house,” she said, “was in several of my favorite collectors' shopping bags. At least they could have brought their own.”

Mike Montgomery visited a restaurant in the idyllic Cook Islands and chanced upon a Dom Perignon on the menu that was accompanied by the words “Price by Negotiation.”
What if this practice spreads?
