Bankruptcy can be a lot like a warm hug. Olaf would agree. When you’ve suffered (and suffered miserably) from years of debt and years of harassment from creditors, filing for bankruptcy and discharging all of that debt is a welcomed relief. It’s like a warm puppy....
To an earlobe, Claire’s is a sadistic torturer. Over the years, how many innocent dangling ear parts have been subject to wonton and unwanted cruelty all in the name of physical adornment? Not only has Claire’s perpetually condoned the practice, but it has encouraged...
Geoffrey the giraffe is not happy. In fact, none of us who are a kid at heart are happy. Do you remember the lyrics to the song? “I don't wanna grow up, I'm a Toys R Us kid There's a million toys at Toys R us that I can play with I don't wanna grow up, I'm a Toys R Us...
