I was going through some of your older stuff and must say that this one is really sweet, whoever she was she was very lucky,this one makes me picture the face of an angel. You know you surely have power with your words and I think that you could win over just about any woman you wanted with them. Just use your powers for good and not evil *wink* *wink* jk, lol.... well anyway I really like this one...

Thank you ever so kindly, my dear. It's always good to find a kindred...:-)  You're right--the simplest words are often the most powerful. Thanks for reading...and I'm very glad that you liked the piece.<BR>

Hey Kirk; Where's the bean counter telling us how many people are reading the blender. It's missing from the page.<BR>
The pages are naked with no poems on them ha.<BR>

Ali, "keep coming back because it works"...?   Or not?!  hehe  Thanks B.K. for adding some levity!  I laughed too, Ali, albeit nervously.  I told my daughter that I was the proud recepient of a front-page pick, and that, in fact, the poem was about her.  Of course, she wants to read it.  <BR>
<BR>
This is my final whine/bitch on the matter.  I will now wait patiently.  My name is CJ, and I am an addict, too, Ali.  White-knuckling it now... mmm hmmm

OK, I've rolled back the change that seems to be the problem... it's probably something with IE7. <BR>
I need to get better at testing, it seems!<BR>
<BR>
So very sorry about that... I'll be more careful making changes going into the future...

Date: 17 September 2007<P>

Sorry, let me go into a little more detail:<BR>
These days I'm mostly using Firefox, which had no problem, and when you hit "comment on this poem" a nice little form popped up on the page, and it respected the login that we have on the front page and on the comments board.<BR>
<BR>
Whatever IE's problem is, whatever would make the WHOLE PAGE blank is beyond me. But it does indicate I need to do more testing when I make changes in the future...<BR>
<BR>
Can people who were seeing problems tell me EXACTLY what browser they were using at the time? (Go to Help|About) IE7 seems to be the worse right now.

Oh, and for the record, people should feel free to email me if something major like this happens to the blender... only one person did (but a very important person) but she sometimes uses unusual hardware, so I didn't leap on the case as quickly as I should have. Probably if a ton of people were yelling at me (and I was forgetting to check in on this page) I would've realized the error of my ways that much sooner :-)

Okay, shell-shock is over and I'm glad I tried reading here again. Can now put the paper bag aside and breathe normally again :-)j/k. All joking aside, blender is a great part of each day to many of us, and this latest issue proved it once again. More reliable, and more pleasant than the daily news, we've become community and family here even when others seem to let us down. Thankfully, Kirk is a willing loveblendermeister in keeping the site going and interesting with his upgrades. Thanks, ((((aparajita)))). LOL, Ali and hairdiva! 12-stepping over blender addiction? I think I'd rather line-dance, or dance around with some lines here when I get my head back together :-). Take care. Hugs all around ...... Rennie

b.k., thanks for time on the phones in talking with me over these issues and more. Not like you don't have enough on your plate already. You still inspire me with your devotion--bravo! Your company may block sites to keep you busy working instead of giving you any time surfin'. We know how you shake, thump, threaten that 'pea shooter into working one more time, many times :-)...if only that worked everywhere we needed it in life. Naw! Shakin', thumpin' and threaten'n only shut me down long ago--lol. Sweet talk that computer. You take care! ...... Rennie

awww.... this is too cute!<BR>
<BR>
I have no idea how they do this:<BR>
 <BR>
TYPE IN a command and see what happens... "sit, roll over, down, stand, sing, dance, shake, fetch, play dead," etc ....... and it's also cute if<BR>
you should type in a command that's not recognized...!! <BR>
<BR>
Make sure you type in "Kiss" too, but do it last. <BR>
