Honest folks, it's just my own brand of a sense of humor.
I think it is cool! I do not know you yet but the new member thing is cute!

I’ve always felt that I understood Alice’s humor, however she needs to keep her day job.



I’ve got a 2nd pet peeve today. I have several wall calendars that I keep updated with issues and things, and they all have little squares to add comments. The wall calendars are too hard to write on so I’m using yellow stickies. The stickies are too big for the calendars!

So what happened to your “status” under the little icons below your name? Where’s that?

Pet peeve #3 for the day is members who don’t have “status” under their icons [top left].

It could be the calendar is too small for the sticky notes.

Sarcasm is the lowest form of whit. Thankfully, we are all very whitty at some point in our lives!
