1.  THANK YOU, TERRYTUTORS!!!  http://terrytutors.wordpress.com/

2.  see above; rules posted

3.  see below:

1.  i am a grammar fanatic (i.e. can’t stand the misuse of their and they’re; all of the sudden/all of a sudden; your and you’re; not realizing the grave importance of the oxford comma; etc.)

2. i do not like writing using capitals (when i am writing casually) as i have never learned how to correctly type so lowercase makes it easier and more able to follow stream of consciousness

3.  i am actively involved in humane education and animal rescue and my dream is that rescue groups and animal control facilities/shelters need not exist in the future

4.  i am a “walking dead” fan and have had a raging crush on andrew lincoln since “love actually”

5.  i have had the pleasure of knowing my soul dog, baloo, and still cry two years after his death but also believe his spirit is still with me and dedicate all my rescue efforts to him and fighting black dog syndrome

6.  i DO NOT like common core and think it will be the ruination of public schools and gravely hurt children and true pedagogy

7.  my two favorite places to be are anywhere in the caribbean or on a rescue facility located on a farm surrounded by all animals
