I hate to think who is the second choice. All bozos on this bus! Squeeze the wheeze!
It's nice to know that sometimes you aren't just shouting into the void. Keep up the good work and thank you for your work.
Thank you, Erica, for speaking up about this! Good work!
You seem nice as well as displaying exceptional reading comprehension. Keep up the good work!
