Hi, Alice!!

Thanks for the friend request!

Hey, you were on today!!

Going through my friends' list and saw you there.

How's school going??

We picked some fruit ourselves. Passion fruit grows all over the place. Can't eat more than one at a time.

Think I heard Clay say he's going to a school party tomorrow. Hope you recognize him. He's all cleaned up now. :)

He does look great. That skate rat cleans up nicely!

He said it was great to see everybody yesterday.

You're right, he is pretty cool about the whole thing. First job is today, so we'll see how he feels after the real thing. :)

Are you on your holiday break now? Probably not. It seems way early.

When are you going to take your academic tests for the CSR?? Has anyone talked to the students at your school about that?? Getting the tests out of the way when your academics are completed??

I'm just curious.

Thank you, Alice. I hope you have a Merry Christmas, too!!

Glad you get a bit of a break.

Have you looked at the Q & A extensions yet??

Clay held out on me for a long time on that one. I think he's still taking it slow with them. He's been sitting in with me quite a bit and is handling fast Q & A like a pro. I keep thinking this witness is going to do him in, and when it's all over, he's, like, "No prob!"

I absolutely love my extensions. They've made my job so much easier.

Yes, take your academics when you're completed and feel ready. Sounds like you might be finished with the machine and the academics at the same time. Good for you!

Enjoy your time off!

Alice,

Well, if it makes you feel better, I don't use the extension on the "Yes, I do."

That would be a good one, but I just come back after the answer symbol for my YOD. Probably should put that on the list of to-dos.

I do use some of the "I don'ts" and love them.

I use DOE for I don't know -- because that's how it sounds to me.

DOE-FRPBLGTS A. I don't know.

DL -FRPBLGTS A. I don't recall.

DR-FRPBLGTS A. I don't remember.

My next "expansion" on my extensions -- HA! -- is hopefully pulling up on the initial S- for when the questions start in "and." That's a Dennis Steiner "theory, and I really think it's brilliant.

Example:

Q. And what did you

TKPWHRA*U

The A is "what," the * is "did," and of course the missing S- is the "and."

I bought the Dennis Steiner package about three or so months ago and absolutely love it. He's an old-time writer that must have had steno visions in his sleep. :)

I met him once at a convention, and he's just another steno nerd that obviously loves writing. He's amazingly creative.

Anyway, hope you had a wonderful Christmas!!

Okay. I see typos in my post, and I know it's hard for you to look the other way, but you're just going to have to get over it. :)
