[BearChaser]

Nicely done Thing1, nicely done.

Posting my public apology to Thing1 and Mac. I disregarded my own advice that I posted on Facebook this last week. #16. Cynicism is far too easy to be useful. Thing1, My apologies. Great job.

[Oh-No]

Impressive!!! Well done.

[^shane^]

A+. Thing1 had better get a great grade for that. Sticky anyone?

How old is this young lady? She is wise beyond her years. Well said... well said.

Wow Thing1. That says it all and then some. This girl is wise beyond her years.

Might I suggest using a program to turn this into a real document which resembles the Declaration of Independence. Maybe even get some of our celebrated forefathers of the hammock world to put their John Hancock on the document.

Just Jeff, Shug and many others come to mind. Seems like it might be a nice gift to sell from the HF store. Maybe a way to help pay Thing1's way to college.

WW, Mac! You must be super proud of Thing1!!

So that's it then. December 5th is Hammock Independence Day! Thanks for posting!

Yeppers, we be proud o' her!

Mark yer calendar... Dec 5th makes sense, 'cause she 'druther hang in the cold.

Thing 1 for President!

Seconded!

What a Declaration! Congrats, Thing1 for stating something so well and forcefully. You will be commended and your words will ring through HF. Well done! Well done!

She has read all these comments, and was humbled... she says Thank you!

Very nice. Obviously a very intelligent young lady. You need to take her original and frame it for her wall.

...already on it! Thanks!

Nicely done, but sounds like the "Perfect Pinewood derby Car".

She did try hard to make it sound "Jeffersonian"...

Please post her grade! If that doesn't deserve an A+ then I don't know what does.

I'll do it! Thanks!

Very nicely done. My wife talked about this assignment at her school recently. I will have to share this with her.

I had no idea it was a national thing... I'm worried that she will get points off for basing it so closely on Mr. Jefferson's document... but I like the lampoon a lot!

An impressive and stirring piece of literature. I could almost see the Hammock Forums flag waving in the background.

It would make a nice video, eh?

That is AWESOME!

Thank you on behalf of Thing1!

Well done, Thing 1!

She says, Thank you, too!

That's incredible!

...just what I thought. Thanks!

that's a beautiful document of declaration. thank you Thing1.

Now she's blushing...

Wow! That's an excellent job Thing1 That is an A+ in our book here at the hammock forums

Sure hope yer right! Thanks!

That's great! Excellently done and shows a great grasp of the original document as well!

You should be very proud!

That was what I was amazed at... I have the original in doc format that she cut and pasted, then edited. I thought she did a great job reinterpreting Mr. Jefferson.

As a High School teacher I give it an A++, very nicely done Thing 1

Thanks! She'll be in HS next year!

Stlr Ntn hit the real point here. T1 actually understands a whole lot more about the original now that she has thought through and drafted her declaration. A wonderful assignment which was adroitly executed by T1!
Well done, Fair Maid!

Thanks, says she and me!

Please tell me that Thing1 is going to major in Political Science!

Those talents shouldn't go to waste!

She wants to be a veterinarian... sorry!

Although I'm impressed, having had the opportunity to meet and converse with Thing,1, I'm not surprised.

She has performed at an exceptional level and I applaud both her content and presentation.

Well done girl! You done tree people proud.

She said to say, Thank you, Mike!

I like it Thing 1! I would grade that as an A+++++++++++++++.

You are kind. She says, Thank you!

Nicely done Thing1, nicely done.

She's at her friends house across the street, making me relay her sincere thanks!

Think nothing of it... Mr. Jefferson talks kinda strange, ya know!

Thing1 says Thanks!

Impressive!!! Well done.

She really did ask me to thank all of you for her!

A+. Thing1 had better get a great grade for that. Sticky anyone?

I'll let you know.

How old is this young lady? She is wise beyond her years. Well said... well said.

She's in 8th grade, and she told me to tell you, "Thanks!"

Wow Thing1. That says it all and then some. This girl is wise beyond her years.

Great idea! But that is something that Thing1 will have to work on, cause I'm kinda busy! Thanks!

Thing1...Good job!.... you know we will expect a recitation the next time we see you. I think a document on parchment paper written with a quill pen signed with your own "John Hancock" would look good on your wall at home!
