My Aggravating Paramour

Stop it!
I’m exhausted by you
Always complaining, never supporting yourself
Stop it!
I’m overworked by you
Never being grateful, but expecting the help
Really!
I know it’s not your fault
Now pick yourself up, I will see you on the twelfth

Sir Toby Belch
was an Englishman, not Irish or Scottish or Welsh!
He could be a notorious flirt
but, deep down, was just a fun-loving extrovert.

Premium Member Reading Criteria For Graduation

to get a high school diploma you must be able to read at a twelfth grade level
this was in 1952
In 1972 we were told “an eleventh grade level is good enough”.
Today reading at a ninth grade level means that you graduate.
I heard that at a seminar this morning.
