I notice that in the Yes/No column next to the various threads there are asterisks on some of the entrys. What does the asterisk signify?

Thanks Baa. For dem of us who got difficulty reading, duh pichures sho make it easure. ;-) In an advanced composition class once I asked the students to write a 1,000 word essay. One lad turned in a 500 word essay and 1/2 of a picture. As a grade I gave him a picture of the ocean :-)

Rudbeckia, you are one smart cookie - but then, what is the intellegence of the average cookie? ;-)

I'm getting silly. I'm going to bed.

Hmmmm a cookie is full of sugar which would give it energy to burn.

On the contrary, I admire it and take delight in playing word games with it, but sometimes my pedentry obfuscates my message and I get into trouble. Now I gotta get the spell-checker to underline my egregious errors in the message box before I transmit. Oi, such a life! Time for the good ole KISS. ;-) It's 42 F here now - gotta get outside and see what it looks like out there.
