That's why we sons and daughters were obedient or compliant to her wishes. Indeed, we accommodated her because we always wanted money for something. Thus, we yielded or compromised to effect agreements with her. Her method brough...

What gets on your nerves?
What gets on your nerves?
My monthly high school newspaper printed a series titled, "Pet Peeves." The students, teachers and staff had a lot of fun reading it and learned exactly what annoyed or irritated us. A "pet peeve" is anything that is really small and unimportant, but particularly bothers or bugs you. However, others may find the behavior or whatever it may be to be insignificant and acceptabl...
