Perhaps a Slippery Rock t-shirt.
word



Shiner would be delighted to know that my 10yo daughter loves animals and has decided she wants to be a vet.  Of course my i s c & a aggie wife jumps on this as her way to push her toward going to A&M, and my daughter is fully on-board with that and says she's going to A&M.




Meanwhile, ever the rebellious one, my 8yo son is now insisting that he wants to go to UT and be a football player so he can "juke people."  He's actually pretty athletic whilst playing soccer and flag football, but I'm not certain D1-A athletics are in the genes.  I suppose there could be some recessive genes in there somewhere that prove me wrong...

So it's an autobiography.
I have no idea why the first line with symbols appeared in that post.  I even went back to edit it out, but it doesn't show up in the text box.  I've used the link function before without that happening, but something is wonky.  
a space after usually clears it up... there are some other bugs i'm tracking down, too.

I figured it was just you jacking around with an LSU fan.
But hey, while you're here, when I create paragraphs in the response box, most of the time once the message is posted, it eliminates all but one carriage return, so new paragraphs only look like a new line below the last one.  What's up with that?  On this response for example, I put three CRs between the first line, and this second paragraph.  But I'm betting when it posts, there will be no white space between the two.

Am I able to turn off the WYSIWYG?  Shoot, I can post in straight HTML if need be, I sort of remember it from the early 90s.

I second utee's petition.  White space is important.  I hate for my brilliant remarks to all run together.  I like white space to give each lucid thought it's due respect.

it's embedded- and though i can toggle it on and off, the function that is causing that problem remains... it has to be simple and something i'm overlooking.  

most html functions, even if i allowed it, are scripted out- and don't work... simple one's can be used, but very little of it.  the reason is if someone were to open, say a table? -- and not close it, or make an unordered list or something without closing that- it would break the the forum until it was found and rooted out.

Given the fact you don't have very many.... I can understand your desire to have them highlighted by white space.

Real class act that Mayfield....  a bit surprised things didn't work out for him in Lubbock. 
Does seem to fit in well in Oklahoma however.

Your daughter is TEN now?  Geez man....nothing like a progeny update to remind us how old we're all getting.  

I found a work-around for the paragraph thing, when I remember to do it.  Type the message, then instead of hitting post, I hit preview, and the preview has been correct.  If it shows the correct space, I go ahead and hit post.  If it's showing that all paragraphs are crammed together, one of two things are next.  Either back in the text box all the words will be crammed together and I separate them again, or the text box looks correct.  In either case, I hit preview again, and almost always on the second try the preview will show the post will be correct.  

It takes a few extra seconds, and I usually forget to check it, but it's been working when I do it.
