Hints and clues in my style of writing? It's similar to a seesaw. It goes UP and it goes DOWN. What goes up must come down. What kind of motion is that? You tell me.

Lately I've been listening to all these nuts. Not the Nazis or Nutsies but those knots. But wait where all the macadamia nut cookies? I love macadamia nuts to pieces. Of all nuts...who's eating my cookies?
But first let me have these different strokes, different knots. I don't have codigo. I have a lesson plan. Part of it I've learned from my elementary school teacher. She used to let me carry her lesson plan and when she's absent for two to three days or for a week due to certain illness or she lost her voice from yelling too much at my classmates for being such an idiot. I preside the class with the lesson she asked me to teach the whole class. Writing the lesson on the blackboard (actually green board) for everyone to copy and print on their notebooks). After 30 minutes copying the entire lesson, I have to call my classmates for certain discussion about the subject. The next day is a quizz.
Now forget about that let's focus on about KNOTS. What is a knot anyway? Knots are invented and used by early hunters and fishermen when they are hunting and trapping animals for food. The fishermen used to catch fish and seafood with their knotted nets.
