TJ Holland ~ Travelling is really fun. Never imagined that I would be working here someday. Anyways, it gives me the opportunity see Europe since everything is so close.<BR>
<BR>
Splatipus ~ I was lucky to see just about two days of sunshine when I arrived here - but now it is getting bitter cold. I wonder how those swans swim around in the River Thames. Having felt the cold in Chicago and the east coast, I think I will survive here.<BR>
<BR>
~ Akash<BR>
Vishal ~ I was born near Calcutta and brought up in the south. Goa is indeed heaven. I normally visit Goa once every year (Colva Beach Resort) - however this time I was busy getting my paper work done to get here. <BR>

Gala wrote and said she thought maybe the blender was a bit on the fritz, I guess comments-wise? Maybe submissions? In terms of ignoring posts. Let me know if you're seeing problems.

BK~ I also again had trouble submitting my post to H~L~F ... also got stuck and just sat there and waited after hitting the submit the first time ... nada ... waited a couple of minutes and hit submit again to get the one post .. but I was just worrying (imagining Kirk gritting his teeth my direction) I would see the double or triple posts once again. <BR>

Most aggravating is when it locks up when trying to edit a work online. I can almost handle losing a new piece I have added some online edits and tweaks to rather than see one hit the screen I had slip past me unedited before I could make the glaring edits. That happened on the first post for The Shell: Inside Out last month. Too glaring not to go back and correct. But I left a necessary edit alone on Quantum Solace that I would have liked to correct. <BR>
<BR>
Kirk~ Since you mentioned the possibility of adding additional editing features for corrections, MyFamily.com has a feature where the poster can edit or delete anything they post in their "News" comments at anytime they enter the site with a password. Dunno how they do this, Kirk. Too many bells and whistles also really slow that website down. But it is a handy feature. Some locking-up quirk is going on here, Kirk. <BR>
<BR>
Gala~ Not ignoring posts, but I've also had a few times where I just could not get the website for five or ten minutes at a time and need to go elsewhere without commenting on the board on posts and poems I have read. When I do get in the website I see that the comments posts are sparse because I see long blocks of time where nobody is posting or answering posts ... a bit unusual for a comments board that is almost like a chatroom in interaction this time of year. I don't believe anyone would intentionally ignore ya :) ..... Rennie (holding breath and hitting "Submit Comment")

Dee~ "in the pink"... after me writing about satins here and pinky and blue boy skies elsewhere lately, and dianthus and sweet williams, a treat to see more "pink" ... I like this one, Dee :) .. she reminds me of Dorothy Parker's poem Satin Dress. I'll find a link for that one ..... Rennie
