    I sure hope you get your news soon. Since I'm a Minnesotan, I've grown up with people telling Iowa jokes, and maybe it's true the Iowans are a just a little slower... wink

    As a knitter and a member of grammarians anonymous, I LOVE that tagline! smile

    A good sense of humor excuses any number of grammatical errors in my book!

    Not to mention OHGrandma's...ah...interesting approach... grin !


    Dottie, I better add, that response only works well among good friends!
    To be honest, I reserve words like that for cantankerous cows. Thankfully our nearest neighbors are almost a half mile away. :-)

    Seriously, Dottie, I don't read these posts with my fine-toothed comb out. If I can figure out what is intended by the writer, I'm happy.

    Everyone posting to this thread is totally in the clear in my book! I've never gritted my teeth once...except when having my chain yanked on purpose by those of you who are meanies! You know who you are...

    wink

    I won't participate in this thread, since English is my SL, learned as an adult:-)
    No comments please :-)

    Dottie - did you get any mail? You guys "talk" so much, a couple of days away and it is impossible to follow :-)

    I agree with Kriston. But, even better, even if you did make mistakes, you'd still be our friend :-)
