word a day calendar,
By
This review is from: 365 New Words-a-Year Calendar 2006 (Calendar)
The idea of the word a day is great and I bought two this year. However, the calendar is flawed. Because of it's weight the full pad is coming away from board holding it to the wall. I even tried to repair it with 2 sided tape. The maker had better look for a stronger glue. I probably wont buy one next year.
