Punctuation Worksheets If used properly, punctuation marks can greatly enhance the overall structure, organization, and clarity of writing. However, when used improperly, punctuation marks can become cumbersome, inhibiting the reader's ability to understand the material and establish order and flow. Moreover, an excess of punctuation marks can lead to the creation of run-on sentences - sentences in which two or more independent clauses (i.e., complete sentences) are joined without appropriate punctuation or conjunction.

A Hanging How-To One of the small projects I tackled while Steve was at work all day on Sunday was hanging our new hand-towel rack in the master bathroom. There’s something exciting about breaking out the power tools when my husband isn’t home. It’s sort of like a mom-and-dad-are-out-of-town thing. I discovered a new-to-me marking/drilling/hanging technique that I thought could be helpful to share. You know how sometimes you think you’re accurately marking where the holes need to go, only to drill and discover you’re way off? This technique should help with that. First, get your fixture all ready to hang, and then put a bubble of painters tape over the screw holes, just like so: Take your screw (my towel rack came with its own hardware – bonus!) I bet you can see where I’m going with this now. Now stick that baby on the wall right where you want it. Sorry about the blurry tutorial. Now, gently pull away your fixture/towel rack/wall-mounted beer bottle opener while making sure the tape stays in place.

Plutarch • Sayings of Spartans — 208B‑236E (Vol. III) Plutarch, Moralia 1 When someone expressed surprise to Agasicles, king of the Spartans, because, although he was very fond of reading and lectures, yet he would not admit to his presence Philophanes, a learned man, he said, "I want to be a pupil of those whose son I should like to be as well." 2 When someone else remarked that he while king had been made hostage with those in the prime of life, and not their children or their women, he said, "That is but just, for it is good that we ourselves should bear the consequences of our own mistakes." 3 When he wished to send for some dogs from home, and some said, "There is no such export permitted from there," he said, c"Nor was there of men before this; but now it has been done!" 7 When a lecturer said, "Speech is the most important thing of all," he retorted, "Then if you are silent, you are of no worth at all!" p303 Antiochus Archidamidas
The 2010 Esplin Christmas Card I just got back the Christmas cards I ordered through Tiny Prints, and they turned out beautifully. I just love the thick paper & matte printing. It feels so smooth to the touch! I don’t much care for glossy printing, because it feels like nails on a chalkboard in my personal opinion. I’m a big texture snob. First, I upgraded my Tiny Prints order to send me silver envelopes. Third, I designed a little blurb including some random tidbits about our family over the last year. All addresses pictured are fake, btw. What do you think? This printable is free for personal use and should not be distributed without my consent.
