Writing

I'm impressed by the spirit and passion of the EC members in posting discussions topics and blogs. But, unfortunately, many of them ignore (perhaps unintentionally) kinds of rule in writing such as capitalization in the tittle, name of a person, place, the use of punctuation marks and so on.

Something About People

This morning when I came from school I was thinking about how people behave when they are in public and when they talk in private!

So my question is why such difference? Is it some kind of protection? What do You think?

The fall knocked her out for a moment or two. When she came to, Lizzie, one of her oldest and favorite cows, was licking her face. The water was rising.

Really it's midnight now and I'm still sitting with my laptop and talking to people :) 

Funny thing about today .. I went to take a nap at 12 pm and ended up sleeping all day until 6 pm ... all I could think about "how did that happen?" probably I was too much tired during the week so it knocked me down for whole day ;)
