Wow, you must have been bored, Melissa.

As for the indent-age, I think it's actually fairly easy to read with the dashes. There's a code to put in to make it skip over, but I don't know what it is. Hm.

[katelynn]

I love you Melissa! Thank you!

[Melissa]

Your welcome.

Molly -
I was bored, but the notes served a bigger purpose. By typing the notes no one had to decipher my "chicken scratch" handwritng or anyone else's.

I'll have to look up that code somewhere....


Kate-
You make me uncomfortable.
