Thank you Kat for taking over for Carol while she takes the time it needs to recover fully!  Great job - but I knew it would be because that's how you roll!

Thank you for taking the reign's for Carol Williams as she continues to heal, praying that she gets relief. I do appreciate the mention as well among so many wonderful posts. Of course, you could have called it Second Chance Katurday temporarily, Kat! LOL 🥳

I love that idea, Wanda Kubat-Nerdin - Wanda Can! 
We could just overlay a "K" over the "S" in Saturday. That would be awesome.

Thanks for filling in Kat Palmiotti . When I saw Second Chance Saturday with your  name as the by line I first thought it was a reblog and when it became evident it was not I got worried that we lost another AR icon.
