A Wonderful Pearing
A soft spring breeze blew through the trees, lifting a few leaves off of their branches as it did. The leaves slowly drifted down to the newly grown lawn as the sun kissed the tiny dew drops that lined the the blades of grass. The air was fresh and it warmed up the coolness in the atmosphere after a long stretch of cold days. Everyone was looking forward to warmer weather. Being stuck in the house for ANY reason is no fun.

BAW( Bubo And Watches)
I have read in many books that there is someone's contribution behind the success of every human being whether it is someone's mother, father or any other member of the family. But have you ever heard that one barn owl can change the whole life of a ordinary man? if no, so today i am gonna tell you a story about someone's success because of a barn owl. Let's get started then. Once upon a time there lived a man in a small town whose name was James. James had a watch shop in which there were many types of watches but no one bought his watches. But still he loved his shop very much because it was his family shop and also the last sign of his father. Apart from all this, James was very kind and bird lover. James wanted to convert his father's shop into a big showroom But due to non-sale of watches and weak financial condition, he was not able to do so. James was always thinking of increasing the sales of his watches. Once James was thinking about his shop when he saw an owl sitting on the tree in front of his shop. James was very surprised to see that owl in the morning and then slowly he started going to the owl and suddenly the owl fell on the ground. James picked up that owl and brought it to his house, but he was still very upset because he had no money at all to treat that owl. James, without caring about himself, borrowed money from his friend for that owl and got the owl treated. After some time that owl was completely cured and James started keeping that owl with him in his shop and he named the owl "Bubo". It had been a few days since that Bubo was kept in the store that sales of James' watches began to increase. James felt that it was the result of all his hard work that people were buying his watches. One day James was going to get some goods for himself from the market when suddenly he collides with a man who is looking for something on the ground. James asked him what are you looking for. The man shown a picture to James and said- Look at this picture, the woman sitting in it is our mistress and the ring on her hand is lost. Then the man shown James the picture of the ring and said that whoever finds the ring will receive a reward of 10 lakh rupees from our mistress. Hearing all this, James came to his house and started talking to his Bubo that only then his eyes fell on a shining thing. As James picked it up, James was astonished because it looked exactly like the ring the man had shown James. James ran to the same man with the ring and that man took James to his mistress and his mistress gave him 10 lakh rupees as a reward. James came home with the money and started keeping them in the cupboard when he remembered that today he did not give anything to his Bubo to eat. James brings food for him but he did not have Bubo at home. So he got very upset and started looking for him everywhere. James looked for the Bubo everywhere but he could not find it anywhere, so that tired James came to his house at night. James started crying and then he found a picture in which James standing outside his shop with his parents and grandfather And there was an owl sitting on top of his shop that looked just like a Bubo.

5 Bed Bug Treatment Methods: What is Best for You?
“Small but terrible.” This famous adage exactly describes what bed bugs are. These pesky pests may be very small in size but they are never easy to control and eradicate. In their lifetime, these ectoparasites lay hundreds of eggs and they depend solely on blood meal for survival. Typically, bed bugs suck human blood and, nocturnal by nature, they do it cunningly at night time so that their sleeping host will not be able to notice their attack.

A Shining Example
Dear Grand-Aunt Wanda~ For as far back as I can remember, you've been my hero. You've unknowingly inspired the girl I was with your example and later by repeatedly encouraging me in many ways. Your response to my first letter, what actually amounted to a fan letter, after being told repeatedly that you would never reply, was thrilling. Did you have any idea what it meant to receive that letter? I felt as if a hand had been offered with a promise of lifting me up and in the years since you have certainly done just that.

Gold
I’m already tired—bone-tired. No sleep from the night before. My husband will have to both drive and entertain our kid in the back seat while I doze. I am unsteady just getting in the van, and yet I’m supposed to compete today. I’d like to say that this is unusual for me, and it is, at least in part; I’m not usually competing in a tournament. But the sleeplessness before life’s milestones, both major and minor, has been a facet of my life since I was very young. Anxiety runs like a hot, poisoned river through my family’s genes, and I know I will be spending all of today managing it.

Jaux's story 11feb2019
February 11th On the train Again, Life could be a dream, Train to subway to Lyft with rain On the train I played some songs but I don’t remember which specific ones but they vibed with the trap remix of “Life Could be a Dream”. Somewhere, I think between Philly and DC, there were service men on the tracks lighting the rails on fire. Now I had heard that this was common in places like Chicago and it was kinda cool to see. By the time I got to DC, it was dark and I recalled the last time I was here a few months prior. I was with one of my friends from high school -he invited me to a DC museums trip with him, his mom and her friend. I recall thinking that he wanted to get to know me more -I then remembered the day when I was planning my current trip was the day of his exhibition opening. I had worried myself so sick about going on this current trip that I missed the opening. I felt kinda bad and I hadn’t seen him since the museums trip.

Tapestry
“And now the final door prize goes to …”, the principal said to the parents assembled in the small auditorium. “Mothers, will you stand please?” I was already standing in the back because I had arrived so late so I shot my hand up just as a lady in a funny hat spring from her chair. “The first mother I saw stand was you in the strange little hat. Come on up and get your prize. And thank you, parents for coming out to support our seniors. Please exit the building swiftly as we have the 11th grade assembly in about 30 minutes.”
