um, yeah, that definitely detracts from the experience! How have you been?

Funny, I'm having the opposite problem. I am certain that my preso to parents is going to be WAY too long. Bell will ring during my intro!

edventures Life is good, had a great summer, but getting back into the busy time again. September will be very busy. And you?

kmulford That happens to me as well, and still may once I get into my rambling conclusion.

I hear you. Expecting my life to hit overdrive as school kicks off this week. Best of luck as your semester starts!

courosa. I have been there.

kmulford, you're on the right track, you want to talk until bell rings so no time for parent questions....

mine does turn red.

OOps I read that wrong! Yes, I would prefer that!

honeymic csouthard Text turning red?

When you are writing in Word, wouldn't it be nice if when your text turned red, you were done?

ahhh .... that's funny ... you're right, that SHOULD be a feature of word.

You could make use of repetitive adjectives to fill the word count even though it's a very, very, very, very, very, very, sneaky trick.. ;-P

never had that problem. I'm so full of it that I usually have to cut and slash.
