Great idea, Lorraine. A one-time exception is definitely the easiest and safest solution.

glitterpen, Lorraine is right. You can work ahead, but that doesn't prevent you from elimination if you go 72 hours without posting an assignment. So, to prevent accidental elimination, I'll waive the 72 hour rule for you during Oct. 7-9 only, in honor of your holiday.

The way the exception works: I'll manually post a fake entry from you on Oct. 8. Therefore, so long as you post something on 10/6 before the holiday and again on 10/10 after the holiday, you'll only be going 48 hours between the posts. Please be sure to post on 10/6 and 10/10, and in the middle, enjoy the time with your family and have a Happy Thanksgiving.

Cheers,
Michelle
