Um, I believe that would be properly spelled as; "Mr. Correction" :pbpt:

You truly don't know how hard it is for me to not bash bad grammar sometimes. I had a real hard-ass Professor for a Journalism class in college. He would flunk any assignment for just one spelling error or bad grammar. We hated his guts and a lot of us had to take the class twice, but that strictness rubs off, whether we cared to admit it or not...

I had a 6th grade teacher with a glass eye who made all of us students put our desks together for 15 minutes a day to stare at each other in the eyes. He called it confrontion time. We would rotate between all the kids including the teacher himself. Which was hard as hell not to laugh when watching that eye of his bounce all over the place. :grin:

But as much as we all hated it and thought it was stupid, every one of the kids that I've ran into over the years say they wouldn't have changed a thing. It taught us how to talk to people eye to eye. That has helped me in both my personal and professional life when talking to people. It's amazing how many people don't look at you when talking which creates a feeling of low trust.

Grammer on the other hand - not my thang

I hardly ever look people in the eye.... I've had a problem, since I was a kid, where sometimes my eyes go crossed, for no reason....

It gets embarrassing, when people ask wtf, is going on.

You could pass the filter - but the filter was made out of about 500 sheets of photocopies and a half dozen textbooks - not to mention four or five hand-me-down copies of previous midterm exams... :wink:

from the east side review:

"The 2009 St. Paul Winter Carnival buttons will be unveiled "in Grand style", by Mayor Chris Coleman, representatives of the Winter Carnival royal family, Vulcans, Klondike Kates, and other legendary figures on Saturday, Dec 6, during the St. Paul Grand Meander.

 After the button artwork is disclosed, the Vulcans will offer free fire truck rides to the public. The Klondike Kates will entertain guests with holiday songs. Plus the St. Paul Winter Carnival Royal Legend will be read by members of the Senior Royalty.

 Winter Carnival Buttons will be for sale at the event.

 Other activities during the Grand Meander include Breakfast with Santa, Art of Grand, Carolers, Fire Truck and Trolley Rides, Soup Tasting, Art at Ramsey and Young Art Fair, Santa's Reindeer, a screening of "The Muppet Christmas Carol", and a tree lighting.

 The Button unveiling will be at 10:30am at Dixies on Grand in the patio/parking lot, 695 Grand Ave. in St. Paul and activities immediately follow along the avenue.

I have 20 four packs and about 20 single Buttons that I need to sell. It would be GREAT if I get them all sold before the pre-dig...

Please help a girl out. I would so really appreciate you buying from me... I am more than happy to meet up with anyone just about anywhere. I am usually out and about most nights anyway.

Thanks Everyone for your support of the Winter Carnival.
