This is just too cool not to share. And to keep on topic, umm… awoooooo! Werewolf.
Reckless endangerment, part 1.
Verbatim, from a note sent home in Evie’s “Poetry Folder”: Every Friday your child will bring home their Poetry Folder to share with you. We will be learning a special poem each week. Please have each person that your child reads their poem to initial the page and return it …
Things that make you go “Duh,” part 35.
Not sure whether to laugh or cry at this one, from Evolution in Rawhide: So tell me, Evo developers, if top posting isn’t recommended, why is it that when I start a reply, my cursor opens a blank line at the beginning of the message and positions itself there?
