Stacy,
How very nice of you to nominate Bottomline English for the Inspiring Blogger lineup. I’m afraid that I don’t keep up with it as I should. I have stacks of notes that I make every time I read the paper or watch the 5 o’clock news on Channel 5 (a GREAT source for strange usage), but I am not sufficiently disciplined to transfer them to the blog.
Still, being noticed by someone is a great motivator. Thank you.

Just wanted to let you know I appreciate your work. (And I agree about the news!) 🙂
No cavities is cool, but, holy cow, you can do a split? I couldn’t do that when I was three.
Yeah, since grade school. I used to be able to do left leg, right leg, and down the middle. Now the down the middle is a bit out of my reach. I need to work on that. I should do more yoga, which I love, but never have time for. Can’t imagine why!
Especially at my age! Must run in my family, though, because my sister is nine years older than me, and she’s never had a cavity either.
Good strong teeth! I’m impressed with no cavities.
