Auto correct in the subject line maybe?




Luckily, I have enough willpower to control the driving ambition that rages within me.

When you had the votes, we did things your way. Now, we have the votes and you will be doing things our way. This lesson in political reality from Lyndon B. Johnson

"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible." - Justice Janice Rogers Brown

Your daughter's letter would have made any Dad feel fantastic. It's pretty cool when they let you know what they have enjoyed learning from us.

But, shouldn't the Title be "...paid in full."?

I can see why you're so distraught. That grammar! Goodness. It's as if a ten year old wrote it.

Wink

Seriously though, getting a note like that from my daughter would make my decade...

I've raised two daughters, and as heartwarming as it is, my first question would be "Okay, what do you want?" Big Grin




Be careful when following the masses. Sometimes the M is silent.

Put that letter in a safe place. You will need it in 5 or 6 years when you ask what happened.

I will add that I taught him how to catch and clean fish last year (age 6). I also bought him an air rifle this Christmas (age 7).

Sorry, didn't mean to hijack your thread.

Ha haaa!
I encourage fearless spelling and writing. As they read more, the spelling and grammar improves. But I'm not shutting her down for anything on this note. <3

Danged autocorrect is my worst enema!

I have a 16-year-old girl also. She shoots handgun matches with me, makes any suitors ask me for permission to take her on dates, and just won region in the American Legion oration competition about the value of the constitution. Hopefully my younger girls will take after their sister.
