You'd think that person must have something better to do than editing a nun's blog, but apparently I was wrong.

Only found out when we got the film proof.<br /><br />I often wonder how brain surgeons handle the stress of never being able to make a mistake, but it sure puts spelling mistakes into perspective.Mauranoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30512717.post-88869769397583281482011-09-27T07:17:48.958-07:002011-09-27T07:17:48.958-07:00Martha, we say 'anti-disirregardless' here...Martha, we say 'anti-disirregardless' here, just to be completer.
