Re: Krisles
You won't hear me complain about such things in your writing. CAPS-LOCK ROCKS when appropriate, and there are never enough exclamation points when you need them to get your exclamation point across or down or diagonal!!! Whatever you need to convey say it how you need to say. That's what I say, anyway.
Very good to see you, Krisles. I hope you're doing well.

Re: Azur
If feeling sorry for yourself is a crime I'm headed for death row. Let the tears flow when they need to, they wash away the heavy.
By the way, kids today have it too easy. If I had spellcheckers and calculators were allowed I'd have managed to be a C student.
Take care, my friend.

Cunning, Onions to you. They were being chopped when I read your comment to
my post today. Well, I couldn't see them but someone must have been chopping them.
I was feeling a little sorry for myself in that moment. Yes, this was very good. It's something I always talk about with students, well I did way back when I was a teacher.

Re: vickip
I've never had any luck with those kind of things. The grammar checkers are just as bad. Everything a sentence fragment.
Thanks for stopping by. I'm glad you enjoyed.

Re: Dark_Moon
Long time no see. A lot of familiar faces are making their return recently. Good to see.
Yeah, spelling has always been my akilleez heal. So it's comforting to me that the entire planet seems to be regressing in that area to ease my insecurity. A little schadenfreude going on here.
Hope you're doing well, Moon.
