I'd rather sew in a zipper using only my feet than come up with a subject line.

Thank you everyone for your kind thoughts and support. I'm doing better now, but still prone to break into tears every time I look over at where their cage used to be (I had to pack up their things that day, so I wasn't seeing reminders of them everywhere). I almost feel guilty grieving, you know? Like, I shouldn't be crying; they're just pets.

So these pretty badges you can now make with your super badge machine... would you consider doing commercial designs?
Examples:

Also something that says 'Morpheme Addict'.
Our student association has been throwing some ideas about badges around recently, in a reckless, maybe-maybe-not sort of way, so I thought I would ask you.

(That #<3# represents a heart by the way!)

Sounds good to me!

What's a morpheme? Might help me to see if I can think of an image, if I know what one of those doohickey thangs is.

You have a speedy committee! Speedier even than the Schmacko fiends.

There are only two execs and we're bypassing the rest of the committee, so it doesn't take long. :) I imagine your committee would be even more efficient! I would change some of ours to be more like yours if I could. :D
A morpheme is the smallest part of a word that has meaning. So "elephant" is one morpheme because if you take any part of it away it has no meaning, but "cats" is two morphemes ("cat" and "s") because each of its two parts has an independent meaning. Does that make sense?

[twocheeseplease]

A word that cannot be broken up without making it totally meaningless?

So like.. "the" "and" "sing"?

[buriramtourakom]

Yes, but also a word part that has meaning like un- or -ing.

[twocheeseplease]

I also can't view the err.. phonetic one (I dunno the shortcuts to type half of that) so could you email it to me pretty please?

I'm at restlesswillow at gmail dot com. Ta!
