Let us know what you think.

Great job - I’m so happy to see _teemings_ back again, and just when I was on the verge of getting something done today!

Just to understand how this works- there are twelve articles per issue?

The bit about spaghetti and worms was fascinating.

Twicks: Chapter 7, last sentence. Extraneous “it.”

I really like the Index pages for both series! The sidebar with pictures and so forth for each issue makes it much easier to identify which issue a particular piece was in.

What a great deal of time & effort went into this. Thanks, everyone!

That was all **Eutychus** ’s work – he took my vague request and came up with something really helpful.

I just got finished making supper for my family. It’s a chicken / mozzarella cheese recipe with a secret sauce of my own design.

I call it “The Pullet Surprise.”
