Good Morning Class. Welcome to School!
Here is my example with WFTD:
The Democrat fiasco in Minnesota at the Wellstone Memorial has been dissected and commented upon ad infinitum by various and sundry pundits and talking heads, but one of the most touching and felicitous is the piece today by Peggy Noonan. As is her wont, she takes it to the deep gut, personal level, a level upon which all can relate. Here she writes in the voice of Paul Wellstone, from the great beyond.Let me tell you, when I watched the memorial and how you acted, I wasn't alone. Jack Kennedy was here, and you're not going to like this, but he said what he said the day Nixon had his meltdown in '62. He looked at you and said, "No class."
John Adams is here too. He turned away from you in disgust. "Faction!" is what he said. It was no compliment .

catfood is one of the most disgusting things on the planet. you know, xshub when he was xsboyfriend, housesat a cat once (i have always detested cats, and he has since been determined to be deathly allergic to them) and when i saw him open up a can of catfood, i was not able to eat tuna for a number of years after that. and now i can only eat the albacore, because the chunk light looks way too much like catfood!

Well this stuff is especially nasty.... Goober (my 23lb cat) won't even touch it. He's older & has since become diabetic, so we tried a special diet to begin with, but he hates the food. Looks like I'm going to have to start giving him insulin shots twice a day... fun fun.

dang, EOD, you are a sharp one.... ; )

Well I expect I'll get a little messed up (& probably take some insulin myself) for a little while till I get the hang of it. The vet showed me how to give shots to him, just pinch the skin up & inject into the skin... cat didn't even seem to notice.
To: xsmommy
Nah, I've just been busy as several beavers.

By the way, I would be remiss if I did not acknowledge that you are doing a terrific job as our substitute teacher.
You haven't allowed things to get out of hand.......but it is still early.

Glad the grade helped. I don't think we can use tuition reimbursement funds for furnace repair, but you give that repairman a nice pat on the head for being a pubbie!
