This makes sense as Delaware is notoriously a state that doesn't have any practicing lawyers and doesn't ever have lawyers from other states file briefs in any of its courts

Meet the water sommeliers: they believe Hβ‚‚O can rival wine – but would you pay Β£19 a bottle? A restaurant in the English county of Cheshire has launched a water menu, as have a number of US establishments. Is it really possible, though, to tell one terroir from another?

Look I know from experience prisons will do anything to keep media out, but now that Jen Shah, Elizabeth Holmes and Ghislaine Maxwell are all in the same prison Bravo should have at least made some phone calls floating a new Housewives franchise

Sure the decline of SEPTA means every day it takes me longer to get to the office I have to go to for no discernible reason, but if it were fully functional or I worked from home I wouldn't have walked past the man who yelled angrily that he liked my dress this morning. Balance

I did reverse image searches on a few of the photos on the site, and they appear to all be stock images.

On the FAQ page, there's a link to a website for Berbay Marketing & PR, which does appear to be an actual PR agency.
