    I know the feeling…but, Kindergarten in our town was only half-day…still enough time to do personal stuff without having a 5-year-old child underfoot! ;)

    I thought Elly’s library job was part-time. I suppose I could be wrong, it has happened before……

    @Night-Gaunt49 (from yesterday):They must have changed it since that did not work back when I started here in 2010. Unfortunately they don’t deign to tell us that.I don’t know what you say changed, and since you didn’t use the Reply button, I can only guess which comment you’re referring to.You post the Lynn’s Notes almost daily in boldface; so, I take it, it isn’t my comment about using boldface. It also means you visit Lynn’s general website link where the strip image is posted daily, along with any notes.I’ve been a GoComics member since 2009. If the change is about the the strip panel images being identical, I don’t remember ever getting anything from GoComics about such details (may have; just wouldn’t remember it).Universal Uclick is Lynn’s distributor. It also owns GoComics. So, I find nothing unusual about both websites showing the exact same strip panels, perhaps formatted differently on Sundays. The only time I remember the color being different, was the Sunday, when GoComics ran (like my Sunday paper) and Lynn’s website ran (mainly bedding color differences)I remember that date because I asked about it at her website, and was only told it would be investigated (it was so unusual). There may have been other times that I don’t remember.

    Few, if any, of us are able to everything in a day we would like to do. We are always making choices. For mothers (and stay-at-home fathers), the choices to set you own interests aside and focus on your children is the easy choice, but it does not eliminate the non-child-directed interests. Having the children in school can be a relief or an opportunity – at least until you find out how few hours really are available.

    Underlining starts with <u> and ends with </u>. For example,<u>underline this</u>inside the comment box, turns intounderline thisin the published comment.If there’s a wildcard character (like * and _, for boldface and italic, respectively) for that, I don’t know it. I’m pretty sure everything I said about boldface and italics yesterday and this was already in effect when I joined in 2009.The things that start with < and end with > are all HTML tags.There are many more, not all of which are supported in GoComics comments, and those that are, quite often only allow a subset of their options; but, from time to time, the list of supported tags or tag options expands.

    I think some of these comments are from adults with no children of their own.I feel sorry for any children who have parents who have NO outside interests, desires, hopes, dreams separate from their children.
