    You sometimes wonder about the new teaching methods they're so keen to use, don't you!

    It seems a lot of people can't see the differnce from THEN and THAN either.

    I did the right thing by setting you free
    But the pain is very deep.
    If only I could turn back time, forever, you I'd keep.
    I miss you


    I hear you whimper in your sleep
    I gently pet you and say, no bad dreams
    It will be alright, to my dog as dark as night.

    Fur as dark as the night.
    Join me on this flight.
    Paws of love that follow me.
    In my heart you'll forever be.
    [/SIZE]



    How I wish I could hold you near.
    Turn back time to make it so.
    Hug you close and never let go.

    My peeve is its/it's. I came up with a mnemonic for the possesive form: "his, hers, its." His and hers do not have an apostrophe, so neither should its.

    I keep putting "form" for "from," but that is a typing thing. I get so irritated with myself sometimes, I just leave it. Guess I better proof read more often. Sorry for anyone who had to figure it out.

    I can't stand run on sentences, and lack of capitalization and punctuation!

    How about basic spelling and good grammar?? It kills me when I read posts that just make the person sound "under" educated. Maybe it's the way people hear things spoken, or maybe it's a common misperception about how a word is said, but it really drives me up a wall!

    Grammatically, I am not the best, but I make an effort to have it correct!

    If you use Firefox 2 it has an included spell-checker so when you type adress like that it corrects it to address.

    Firefox sc

    He he... I had thought of buying Netscape because i totally HATED Firefox... then they came out with that nifty little spell check. Sometimes I was just too darn lazy to copy some of the words into OLE or MSWord. I love those nifty little red lines Even if it's next to useless half the time for a correct spelling it still lets me know that it's there. I can go look it up rather than guessing.

    Firefox had its dark days for anyone that didn't know programming, then it became equipped with add-ons for the ill talented. Still, there was woe in the land for there beeth horred speelerz, thus the almighty cr380rz gave us The Red Lines. There was much rejoicing.

    Please, if your dog is arthritic look into getting it Elk Velvet Antler. Look up my posts on it, PM me, or look it up on a search engine; but please if you love your dog and want it to live many more years consider this option. I've seen so many posts on here about dogs needlessly suffering. I can't make a new post about EVA every time so this plea is going here. EVA also helps with other ailments such as anemia.
