So now some US Republicans are ticked off that Google logos ignore US-only holidays like Memorial Day, Veterans Day, and a long list of Rah Rah Yankee days.

Tee hee, that´s a universal one too, since the Irish colonised half the world in the 10th century, in the 16th century, and again in the 19th century :p

I miss our mailings too :(( I´m alone now at work with mountains of work and a slavedriving überboss. It´s all I can do to sneak online now and then for a few minutes.

Now off to work. Thank goodness, it's Thursday.

Tee hee - I work Saturday too. Boo!

I totally feel with you. What a shame shorthand is not permitted.:(

Had a touch of consecutive last Friday and Saturday. Our firemen from Luton were in town and our second deputy mayor tends to hold her longwinded speeches about forced labourcamps and budget difficulties without drawing breath for minutes. *g* Bleh! I tend to shorten them.
;D
Take care, dearest

*hugs* you take care too, dear!

Yep, thing about consecutive is, your version is expected to be 20% shorter than the original, which is helpful. The rub is, what do you leave out? Every jury member has their own priorities :p

Exactly! That's not something you can train for. You can only learn through experience. Therefore you'll do fine.
