thanks! mel gets no where near as much love as she deserves and while i know she's not a popular face and most people won't jump at interacting with her i just couldn't say no to using her.
oohh, that sounds like fun! steff here is now turned a 1st grade teacher who is a little like ms lippy from billy madison ~ quirky, calls her students angels, drinks a bottle of red to keep her sane at night after work etc. perhaps they got to know each other through her tutoring? she basically corrected and assessed papers before students handed them in, and they've been friendly since?
