3 Spirits Inhabit This Old Haunted Restaurant In Texas
Most of the time when you think of haunted locations it's usually a cemetery or perhaps an old hospital. The truth is, that just about any place can be haunted. Even restaurants. That's the case for the old Catfish Plantation restaurant in Waxahachie Texas. This old residence was converted into an eatery and is riddled with ghostly activity. Had you ever wanted to break bread with a ghost, this was the place for you. The restaurant is now closed, but the house still stands and it's talking.
Should Texas Parents Have to Take a Class If Their Kids Misbehave in School?
When your kid acts up in school, a detention as a punishment usually comes to mind. Imagine if parents also got punished as well?. Educators are coming up with new ways to enforce punishments in their school systems and one ISD here in Texas is considering implementing a new policy that will obviously affect misbehaving students. The parents will also be affected as well. Now, many argue an after school detention already affects parents since this delays them for picking their child up. Here is the proposed plan that could go into effect next year.

Was the Snakmaster the Best Kitchen Invention of All Time?
While I'd love to argue that the '80s and '90s were the golden age of TV sitcoms, it would be a disservice not to acknowledge that it was also the era when "As Seen on TV" infomercials truly revolutionized every aspect of our lives in every room of the house. Fixing things in the garage! Cleaning the bathroom! And perhaps most of all—mastering every task in the kitchen.

Is It Legal To Show My Insurance To Police On My Phone In Texas?
This was a question I had to find out for myself. I don't know about yours, but my insurance company no longer sends out the tear-out insurance cards automatically.
