Here's a chance for some CEUs to keep your badges in force. The quiz is at the second link. I have to admit that I didn't make it beyond the third question before I was so nauseated that I couldn't continue. But I did get the first three right.

Five for five, but, must agree those are the two most annoying voices possible.?ÿ Need the other 15 questions because those were incredibly easy.

After enduring all that I realized that the sentence "I could care less about who I was talking to"?ÿcould have most assuredly make my 7th. grade grammar teacher roll over in her grave.

Believe it or not I still have one of my Sixth Grade teachers above ground level (AGL).?ÿ She just turned 80 a couple of months ago.?ÿ I think she was in her second year of teaching when she had to put up with me.

I wouldn't be able to listen to that chatter for 20 questions.
