I knew something seemed off about that! DATo, you got some 'splaining to do!! :lol:
@Zelda ... well if I knew I was going to run into you today I would have worn a nicer shirt.

Splanation below:

I just felt it would be imp-owl-sable to give Owlie anything less than 5 stars (*****). But rules are rules so I will deduct one star and add a meteor in its stead (****^) symbolic of BookOwlie's meteoric and esteemed ascent in the estimation of our website patrons.
One day into my reign and already a point is being deducted. :( DATo, thanks for finding a way around the "rules" and giving me my own meteor! :D

It reminds me that I should change my avatar. Sometimes I think It looks more like a rubber ducky that belongs in a bathtub than a reading owl - ha ha ha.

Haha, I can see a reading owl! But like rssllue said now the duck image is in my brain, so I will think of a duckowlie each time I see your avatar and it'll bring a smile to my face :D
