(Allison Skornick-Rose) 5/15/2019 2:26 PM EDT Do you believe in destiny or fate or love at first sight? Many romantics say they do but how many really feel that spark just from one glance?

(Allison Skornick-Rose) 5/8/2019 2:30 PM EDT If you are a child of the '90s or are the parent of one then you are surely aware of what Pokemon are.

(Allison Skornick-Rose) 4/1/2019 1:13 AM EDT When one thinks of comedy legends, Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy are definitely on the list.
