Technical Difficulties

ARGH

It would appear that the 'braintrust' at Typepad decided to try an new editor. At least that is all I can assume happened because for the past two days when I went to post it was all very different. The result was I had to muddle through on trial and error. Others would have thrown their hands up in dismay and hit the bottle.

Apparently I should have done the same. I've been alerted to that fact that it is impossible to add a comment to the past two posts. This is not by my doing (that I know about anyway) and I can only assume that it is the fault of the 'fresh new hell' AKA the new editor.

I've spent the last hour trying to figure it out.

I've given up and sent a 'help ticket'.

Please stand by for something (like the specter of a PC being tossed out the front window).

You should have sent $$$ to the poor girl on the Ivory coast... don't you know they have control of all internet services?

At least in Atlanta they do!

Sandi - you are probably right. That darn Joy has probably blocked my account. It serves me right for dissing her. I presume I'm not getting love from her.

I guess I had better call overseas for some help.

Welcome to my world :P

Gail -= at least I can get a reliable internet connection! LOL

My comments for the French Toast...
Thanks for the recipe! It even looks pretty easy to make. I have made plain French Toast tons of times but never with vanilla. Interesting addition.

I grew up calling it Sugar Bread. My grandma always made it for me and we put sugar on top instead of syrup. I still can't eat it with syrup to this day.

And for the Spam...
And here I was thinking that this post would be a spam recipe :-)

Just the spelling and grammar errors alone should stop someone from reading the entire message.

Susan - believe it or not but we used to eat SPAM when we went camping as kids. It has been a LONG time now though.

Spam is a major food group here in Hawaii. I ate it as a kid also but I don't join in on the spam love fest now.

[Jerry]

Oh no - the first reason why I DON'T want to go to Hawaii!

I tried to post this to your Spam posting, but I guess the technical problems are permanent!

Anyhoo, I loved your Spam pix. And sympathize with your spam story. I've received a similar pitch several times, dating back to the days of snail mail. Then, it used to be from "a government official in Nigeria" pleading for help by letter. I guess it must work once in a while, or people wouldn't continue trying to pull the same scheme.

Sandra - the technical difficulties seem to be isolated to those 2 posts - thank goodness.

Sadly, I imagine that the folks who respond to those e-mails are the ones who are lonely and can least afford to be separated form their money.
