I watched the Enade debate, which allowed me to listen to the candidates. Although the format wasn't ideal, most of them repeated the same discourse. I was a bit discouraged by my candidate - it seems she can't find the right tone. I hope she'll find it in time

l've always been hesitant to make purchases on Cyber Monday, but I did my research and found a great deal. I took the plunge and bought an expensive item as a gift. It arrived this morning, and after setting it up, I can confirm that the reviews were spot on. My son is going to love it!
