I've done a few critiques this year but if you need someone I would love to put fire to one of these.

OOOOOH, OOOOOH, Me, Pick Me, Me Me Me. I volunteer. :drool: Oh please great master of the leaf. :bow:

In case you missed the obvious, I would be happy to do a review if you need people. :biggrin:
I am not concerned about what you think as I can tell you don't do it often.

I used to be a people person, but then people ruined that for me.

I will toss my hat in the ring. Been a few months since I did one
This is not the admin you're looking for...

Did one in September and one in the spring, so if others haven't done two this year I'll gladly defer, but if not I'd love to hop on if Brad will have me.
When I have found intense pain relieved, a weary brain soothed, and calm, refreshing sleep obtained by a cigar, I have felt grateful to God, and have blessed His name...

Thanks for volunteering folks, but I'd like to make this one an all Guru Critique if possible. I see we have two already and if I can get three more with Guru Status that would be awesome. If not I will select from the first volunteers.........  Thanks~! :smoker:
