   Serious readers know that Amazon allows paid reviewers and AI bots, which give five stars to mediocre or simply bad books. We also know that way too many “reviewers” simply have to say something bad, and will badmouth the book because of shipping, printing, etc., issues not having anything to do with the story itself. So, like Theseus2 said, we’ll read the one-stars over the five stars.

   The main difference between chinos and khakis is that chinos have a more dressy style, with a tapered leg, and are made from lightweight cotton twill. Khakis typically feature exterior stitching and a sturdy, straight leg that makes them suitable for rougher wear — they may be thicker material, but not always.

    We never called her “Mommy” in the first place. She’s Mama or Mom, and on very, very rare occasions, Mother. Some cousins called theirs Ma, but again, never Mommy. Reckon it depends on where in the south one is — Loretta Lynn did call her mother “Mommy.”
