Галина Авилова. Быть и не быть женой - 7Дней.ру: "Как-то летом Витя заехал, привез девочкам икру, попросил спуститься к машине. Я говорю: «Может, поднимешься?» — «Не хочу, чтобы девочки меня таким видели. Потом... — и слух уловил его тихое: — Прости, Галя, прости...»"

...среди богатых жить лучше, чем среди бедных.
Итак, всякий дом, но жилой в особенности, состоит, как учил тот же Аристотель, из материи и идеи.
Первую представляют кирпичи и доски, вторую — изменчивое понятие «location», которое включает в себя не только местоположение, но и множество причудливых привходящих обстоятельств.
Среди них и локальные налоги, и уровень преступности, и число полицейских, и наличие рядом школы, и средние оценки ее учеников, и уровень образования их родителей, и результаты местных выборов, и степень подстриженности газонов, и отсутствие на них пластмассового фламинго ядовитой окраски, и вид из окна, и вид из окна на соседей, и - главное - сами соседи.

‘Wave,’ by Sonali Deraniyagala.
‘Wave,’ by Sonali Deraniyagala - NYTimes.com:
"It’s a somber volume that suggests that Julian Barnes was right about grief, when he wrote in “Flaubert’s Parrot” that you don’t emerge from it cleanly, as if from a tunnel into sunshine. “You come out of it as a gull comes out of an oil slick,” he wrote. “You are tarred and feathered for life.”"
On the morning of December 26, 2004, on the southern coast of Sri Lanka, Sonali Deraniyagala lost her parents, her husband, and her two young sons in the tsunami she miraculously survived. In this brave and searingly frank memoir, she describes those first horrifying moments and her long journey since. She has written an engrossing, unsentimental, beautifully poised account: as she struggles through the first months following the tragedy, furiously clenched against a reality that she cannot face and cannot deny; and then, over the ensuing years, as she emerges reluctantly, slowly allowing her memory to take her back through the rich and joyous life she’s mourning, from her family’s home in London, to the birth of her children, to the year she met her English husband at Cambridge, to her childhood in Colombo; all the while learning the difficult balance between the almost unbearable reminders of her loss and the need to keep her family, somehow, still alive within her.

Which one is right?
Which one is right: You made my day OR you've made my day? - Yahoo! Answers:
It depends on the when, where and how.
Do them in order:
Make my day.
You make my day.
You made my day.
You have made my day.
When: Make my day tomorrow.
Where: Make my day tomorrow at home.
How: Make my day tomorrow quickly.
When: Make my day today.
Where: Make my day today at home.

All are correct, it is the content of the rest of the story or in which setting you use which, that counts.
Example:
Make my day, if you don't, I won't be able to say that you made my day and I'd be lying if I said you've made my day.
Got it?
