Here is a list of our least popular posts (many are understandable):

• Bad speeling and grammar all over the internets- Just a list of spelling and grammatical errors we see all too often on the web.
• I’m a bad boy!- Oooh! The momma was angry at me that day! P.S. I repeated this exact episode at Sam’s house! (heh-heh! I get away with so much!)
• Happy St Patrick’s Day!- Somewhat corny list of what the momma did on St. Patrick’s Day 2008
• Counting down….- Ummm, yeah….not worth revisiting…..
• Don’t say good-bye, Joe- I think the momma was on something strange that day….
• Let me borrow that top- Now this one is definitely worth a gander. It’s a comedy/music video by Liam Kyle Sullivan. Actually, all of his videos are hilarious!
• Back with a vengeance- This title isn’t informative of the content. Basically, it’s a list/video of common poisonous plants that pets like to chew on.
• Still working night and day….- Part of series of posts about an angry/sad/funny story that happened to the momma and me (and the cats) recently.
• Getting worse…much worse, indeed!- Part of the same series. If interested, it’s probably best to start from the beginning: Trouble brewing…-
• Thirteen on the momma’s desk- Just a list of crap on the momma’s desk. Part of the NaBloPoMo list series. Maybe we’ll try that again in February (the shortest month!)
• Insight out- A few videos (or links to videos) with insight to stroke, autism, and a sweet video of an Alzheimer disease patient.
• Twin news- Just spreading the good news about OTC’s newborn twins!

The End!
