Did your grandmother have a plastic-covered sofa in her living room?

Years ago, people -- it seemed often people who came from an immigrant background -- would cover their furniture with clear plastic covers. You'd go into a family living room and all the furniture would be covered in plastic. You'd sit do...

I had this dream a few days ago. What do you think it means?

I am in London, England. I am on vacation. I am walking around the city as a tourist. There are construction sites everywhere. Foundations are being dug. There is mud everywhere, on the streets. In the distance I see a central district with ta...

I was thinking of the following situation. A man murders a college student. The murderer disposed of the victim's body in an undisclosed location. The murderer is sentenced to life in prison. The victim's father gets to a point where ...
