I'm never "okay" but I used to say that with my Kindergarten class every year at Halloween. We called it "The Witch's Brew" and they loved it!
π You are very well read!! I have to step out for the next hour or so. I fully intend to return and enjoy the angst!!! π However, if someone gets it, let them know, so all y'all won't be waiting on me.
Al wrote: "This man translated the Bible into the Massachusett language and it became the first Bible published in America."John Eliot. He translated The Bible into the Massachusetts dialect of the Algonquin language. It was the first Bible printed in the Colonies.
The first English-language Bible was published in America by Robert Aitken, but he settled in Philadelphia. Just a note of interest about another early American Bible.
I need to sign off for the night, but will check back tomorrow.π
Oh, I'm so sorry, Pammy Jo! I haven't even tried with it because I've being doing other things. But I love your quizzes!!Did you not see Meg's comment on the Chat by the Wayside?

I didn't see any other comments. My notifications aren't coming in on a timely basis and I haven't even received a single notification about the Chat page at all. I'll delete my recent question and hints, etc. Is our group ending all posts?

Hmm, I don't know what the deal is!
Thank you. I checked and I have not received any notifications for any of the posts in any other subject except the quiz. Odd.
Pamela wrote: "Thank you. I checked and I have not received any notifications for any of the posts in any other subject except the quiz. Odd."Yeah, mine have been messed up, too. They keep on kicking me off as well. π

I did delete my quiz question and hints.

You're welcome.
Pamela wrote: "I did delete my quiz question and hints."Why did you delete your quiz and questions?
Isn't our group ending now? I just figured it is ending since Meg was the moderator.
Pamela wrote: "Isn't our group ending now? I just figured it is ending since Meg was the moderator."I don't think it's ending... I don't want to say things that aren't my place to say, but I think Ruth is going to take over now, but I'm not sure.
I feel very sad about Meg. She has been lots of fun and really made our group special. π

Well Emma, I'm signing off for the day. We'll see if Ruth keeps the group going and she can decide what to do about the quiz. I felt it was best to delete my recent question, as I thought the quiz was over. Have a good day!Pammy Jo
