  4. onecrazyirishteacher Says:

    Karen, that isn’t at all what I said.

    Here’s what I said:

    Hopefully, sometime soon I will post an extra credit question once a week. Key words: soon, once a week.

    And Faan, the website was too hard to work with. I will do that through this blog, instead; but I’m not ready yet.
