Spam - alot

I've noticed a sudden increase in our spam box. It could be due to my exploration of online teaching job possibilities. It is hard to tell which sites are legit so I'm poking around a bit before I complete any applications or send out my resume.  I'm also checking out doing some online editing. From some of the junk mail titles we receive I think I'd have fun teaching ESL to those in the business of making our sex life "more eksiting". "Make your lady happy with Vigara for your peenus, very big." Come on if you're going to write it, you better know how to spell it. I've had plenty of experience with graphic language. I used to teach Middle School and let me tell you it is quite a place behind those frenemy lines. Eighth grade girls can be lethal. I used to intercept notes being passed in class. Phew, they were something. Every once in a while I'd circle the spelling errors with red ink and leave them on the writer's desk the next day. That was fun. Anyway back to my job idea. Perhaps we could barter...pills for grammar. Goodness knows we have "4 or more hours," to kill these days. But wait, we don't have a doctor on Whidbey yet. Better get to work on that today.
