  1. I used to have a hedgehog. Smelly creatures, even when you wash them regularly. They are pretty cute though. Also, my dog was a little too curious about him and she got spiked good. Never went near him again.

  2. I loved Mr. Van Vuuren’s video.

  3. “Validation” was great! It made my day.

  4. Okay, okay, you can all get annoyed at me for being a grammar freak, but…
    You’re missing the apostrophe in “it’s” in the one about the Apple stair.
    See, I told you you would get annoyed. ;~)
