however, I want to thank everyone who left a comment yesterday or answered my questions on their own brog.As I noted, the idea hit me because I couldn't think of anything else to write about, but when I started seeing broggers answer the questions on their brog it put a smile on my face.

Calling off their money with mediocre hands.

Calling.
