Some assistance (??) to a poet in need of ideas
(Click on a picture to make it a larger size. Clicking again should make it super sized)
1. An unfinished edible, probably a drink, left on the coffee table overnight. Who left it? Why? What happened to it when found?
2. Dying but not dead yet, written in the first person. When will death probably occur? Why is he/she dying? Blame? Regrets? Pain (I just took a hydrocodone pill for a horrible toothache. I have an appointment with my dentist in the morning.)?
Best wishes with finishing, these sound like fun writing after I saw them in print. I might save them, I save every thing, it goes in spurts.

Whatever it was you'd do, I didn't do it.
Instead I posted it here.
BTW, just in case you know Heather you can tell her that she is sending out things like this. Probably someone 'high-jacked' her address book.

Got this e-mail from Kathy
Got this e-mail:
.
I received an email today from "Kathy Lagoli," (Google Link) kathy@thingdiamond.com, with the subject: Jim's Little Blog/(here referencing my post about Katrin's new bed) and with the body of the post as follows:
.
Hello,
.
Hey didn’t hear back from you, are you still in business ?
.
kathy
.
It came in my e-mail as a comment notification but the blog title had gotten scrambled some. I don't know why she picked on me but I do know from Google she has been targeting the blogs.
.
What she does is to leave a phone number in the second e-mail. One fellow said he actually called her. But he didn't mention his blog name or title so she stammered around a bit and hung up. He hasn't been able to contact her since.
From another blogger: "It DID get my attention simply because amomtoday.com is one of my blogs and I had recently put up the privacy policy.. I ALMOST replied to see what I had missed but something just didn’t seem right. I did a quick google of her name and found tons of others who had gotten emails from her which make no sense. They weren’t all the same but they all followed the same pattern, mentioning their blogs in the subject line."
.
I don't see any harm in opening it or calling her. I am sure something sinister is going on here but nobody Google comes up with has any idea about that.

Got this message, now ... [at least ... (we know now)] -- LaLa Land is found
.
Ever have an e-mail just disappear? The "To" person never got it. There is nothing in your sent box. It might have gone to Lala Land. . .
That is the Funny Farm for missing computer stuff. Like "All the Gold is in Beverley Hills," "Many Missing Messages (MMM) are in Lala Land [Yahoo here]."
. . Just when I tried to send an e-mail I got this message on my screen. I determined that my message wasn't sent:
1. I always do a 'Control C' copy before I send. If the message is long I do it several times. Then if Yahoo acts up I can paste into a new shell and send again.
2. Sometimes my message 'goes away.' Welcome to Lala Land. Again not a problem:
a. I've don't the trusty old 'Control C' copy and can paste a my message in a new shell.
b. I don't put the addresses in until I am ready to send. Especially where the message is long and I might not have saved things properly. At least this way a part message won't be going out.
c. When I put the addresses in I always put my own address into the "Bcc:" position.
3. Here, this time, it was Yahoo acting up. All of the above worked good. Nothing was lost except the first cut of my message. Where did it go? Into Lala Land.

"Scheduled Maintenance

Not really a problem because: [THESE WORK GOOD WITH WRITING BLOGS TOO]1. I always do a 'Control C' copy before I send. If the message is long I do it several times. Then if Yahoo acts up I can paste into a new shell and send again.
