Well I have a DirecTV brand DVR, and I just call it my DVR. So, it’s all good. I don’t think I say, “I want to make a Xerox,” as much as I used to, too. So many older people have come into the office supply store I work at and said, “I’d like to make some copies.” It’s grown on me to say “copies” now. It’s funny you wrote this entry because on Friday, on the way to school in the morning, Alden’s dad, Alden, and I had this exact conversation. P.S. May I have a 100% on my exam, please?

I don’t know exactly who you are, lemmingly, but I think I do. Who else would have, at her fingertips, information such as this? Or maybe it isn’t even at your fingertips but rather in that wonderful mind of yours. And is that because of your work at the dictionary? And is that why the words you sent are in alphabetical order??I had No Idea about all these, but it’s great to read them. “Dumpster.” Who Knew???
