At 2:37 PM, Anonymous said...: Sorry, I just had to post a second comment so it wouldn't say "1 comments" anymore.

Hey, if I knew how to change the template, I'd put parentheses around that "s," but I can't.
At 5:01 PM, Anonymous said...: While I'm complaining about your blog site, "quote" is a verb: "Quotation" is its noun form (exempli gratia, "Austen Quotations" versus "To quote novelist Jane Austen . . .") This is one that you do have control over.

Anyway, Jeff looks cool. I still want him to come to the wedding so I can meet him and tell him the true version of the pencil story. I would also like to point out that these are the first three blog posts I have ever . . . posted. I kind of enjoyed them. I would also like to know what could possibly be the purpose of the "Word Verification" I keep having to type. It's difficult enough to type actual words.

I stand corrected. But now if I go back and change that, your post here won't make sense to anyone. I am shocked that you have not noticed that while I only have one entry in my "Books I am Reading" list, I have been too lazy to remove the "s" in "Books." I just wanted to point that out before you did, thus depriving you of the pleasure.

I can't believe that you said you enjoyed something that involves typing. Who are you, and what have you done with Jason? I think I've asked you that a lot in the past year or so.

The word verification is to prevent computer spam. Only a real person can read those crooked letters and type something like "maqqgdxs."

I should try that. Except for the fact that I have no idea how to make the succesful posting of a comment contingent upon the typing of an oddly-spelled term.

I've wondered myself at the purpose of this bizarre ritual. But I considered it less meaningless than the bulk of rules in the Northland Student guide, and having had my conscience seared beyond feeling in that venue, I managed to toss off the feat without the batting of an eye. I am grateful that now I can do so with a little purpose in my effort, however.
At 7:42 PM, Anonymous said...: Please excuse the typo: I intended the term "Successful", but in all my striving I came up one "s" short.

Ironic, isn't it -- Christine's problem seems to be the addition of superfluous "s"s. We should help each other out.

I'll quit wasting your time with inane comments now -- I promise.
At 9:45 AM, Christine said...: Pitchford,
Since your blog is so deep, serious and focused, it just wouldn't be right for you to express the other side of your personality in those posts and comments too much. So feel free to unleash your wit and humor here; I really do miss it.
At 2:02 PM, Anonymous said...: So, are you going to remove the link to Solo Femininity?
At 11:52 AM, Christine said...: No, it's a great website whether it is immediately relevant to me or not. I even plan to read her stuff still.
You're so funny.
