One guy read my list and said, "Hey one of these is wrong. It says Ms. Monroe had eleven toes. Unless she was cremated, she still has eleven toes."
Got me there.

she had it cut off. duh.
Ah, you are correct. The sixth toe on her left foot was surgically removed early in her Hollywood career. So even without cremation she only has ten toes today.
This internet thing is amazing.
I thoroughly enjoy reading your blog. Thank you, also, for sharing Studylight....

Wow James, the honor is mine. You are already having a great impact on so many people and I know there is more yet to come.
p.s. -- My aunt and uncle (also blog readers) live in Broken Arrow and are two of my favorite people. Oklahoma sure seems like a friendly place, based on whom I know from there.
Oklahoma is a pretty friendly place. You'll have to let me know if there is ever anything I can do for you or your family in BA. I have been attending classes at night in Claremore which is not far from BA.
You really need to reconsider the candy bucket...maybe healthy snacks. If Lou and JP heard about this....
Ha! I say bring it on. Lou has a nasty ice cream habit and JP loves the alcohol, and they know I know that they know I know. So it's like the Cold War... mutually assured embarrasement creates a ceasefire.
Besides, I only eat dark chocolate. Less sugar and more cocoa... so I can justify it easier. :)
Good for people to know.
