#1 Intro Graf Cause Essay

                     Getting up early on a Monday morning is always so painful. Not the physical pain, but just the dredding of having to do the same thing every morning for the next five days. And you get into such a routine that you don't even think of what you are doing. Shower, dress, pack lunch, take the dogs out, so on and so forth. Sometimes, it takes something drastic to make you realize how important those daily routines mean to you. Apparently, getting rear-ended by a loaded log truck going fifty plus miles an hour would make you see life differently. That's right, sitting waiting for the school bus lights to stop blinking, then BLAM! Only seconds went by, but it felt like forever. Oh my God! Where are we going?! Stop the car! But there would be no helping us at this point. "Honey! The telephone pole!" It was coming right at us or should I say we were steering right towards it! Hands grabbed the steering wheel and cranked it to the left. How ever did he get up from his seat, it was busted in half! Clearing the pole, the car slid down the embankment. It finally stopped. I didn't know what to think, I couldn't even think! I felt warm dampness over my face and skin, what was that? I can't move, what's wrong with me? And why the hell didn't that truck see our car or the school bus!?

    Dramatic, strong--but you're setting up to answer questions in the next three grafs, not providing reasons for something. 'Reasons why' or 'causes of' are not the same as 'answers to questions.'

    Kill word verification. You can't see it, but anyone who comes to post comments (me!) gets all screwed up dealing with it.

    Here's how:

    1. Log in to your Blogger dashboard. If you have upgraded to the new interface, switch back to the old one. Look for the option of "Old blogger interface."
    2. Navigate to your blog’s Settings. Click on Comments.
    3. Scroll down to where it says “Show word verification for comments?”
    4. Select NO and save your changes.
    5. Change back to new interface if you want.
