It was great fun and good food. The only bummer for me was I knew Kelly and Joe Don's wives would probably be there, so I got my mistletoe ready to take with me. As we were leaving, I could not find it. Cleo said she thought one of the cats had eaten it. I didn't even know cats liked mistletoe! Thanks to the planners, assistants, Alva Moose Lodge cooks who prepared the food and Joe Don for keeping the speech short. I have been studying the fines, trying to find one I could afford. Several make...

A controversial practice of shutting children alone in small closet-like rooms to control their behavior has led Oklahoma parents to withdraw their children from school, seek police intervention and take legal action.

But many parents and child advocates say the practice is like being locked in a closet, and some liken it to solitary confinement in prison. Stude...
