If you aren't careful, she will take away those Holly pics and my Pam pics. Well, not when I am the one who made the mistake. Now, if you were just picking on me for no reason...maybe!

My Holly obsession is a gag, so I'm not worried ...are you? Yup...I have to rely on other sources for Pam pictures until I can get my computer to play DVDs properly.

Okay...another book was in my hand, so I thought I would do this again: "Now, Rodya, don't keep your visitor, you see he is waiting," and he made ready to hold Raskolnikov's hand in earnest. from CRIME AND PUNISHMENT by Fyodor Dostoevsky.

Oops. I wrote too much. Sorry. Not good at following directions, I guess. That's OK, it's better than my first two. I had the Farmer's Almanac and the dictionary. Knowing my luck the next one I pull with be an AP Stylebook. (Bad enough I feel like a walking on right now.)

I don't care for AP. I have used AP, APA, APSA, MLA, CHICAGO, and Turabin in my lifetime.

Not only that, I've had to adapt from Quark to NewsEdit a lot. And, here, I have to rely on a book called "Words on Words." It's more confusing than I'm literal.

O.K. This time I am trying to follow the directions carefully...(Guess I won't be signing up for MENSA either!)
