Today and last night I've been pulling some poems from my library here, temporarily for the most part, so if any are missing that you'd kindly saved as your favourites or anything, that's why. Special thanks to Mike McConnell for his practically immediate help on the Site Support forum last night, as I was searching through all my poems for certain ones, in haste, and it's a slow job if you don't use the search engine on pathetic.org, fortunately we have it, and need to look for a poem in a large library with several folders. A tips to newcomers or oldcomers like me who don't know - it's really worthwhile asking even what you feel are dumb questions, on the Site Support, and of friends who might know, and can save you a lot of headaches, eye aches and time. I'm learning more since re-starting my crashed computer and having to work from a fortunately successful back-up, but things are very much slower right now. Thank heavens for friends, like Chris Sorrenti, and my daughter, for helping a lot too. It takes a lot of patience when these things happen, especially to a not-too-techie but getting moreso, person.
When everything flows properly on my system, (including the printer of course, a big-time groan when it's tempermental) I really enjoy computer life, but the glitches and scares can be frustrating. Even discs and CDs lose things, it seems. And I am working on being even more organized! To me, there's still nothing like the hard copy! Unless a flood or fire hits that too.

This month is crucially busy for getting the word out, in contests, publications, class work, so I'm relieved to be up and running more or less, plus will be off-line in early Oct. for two weeks at least, (someday a lap top when I have the cash will help for such trips). I'll be out in what I hear is now quite a coyote territory, at my sister's in the country, but my daughter will check my e-mails (but not read them unless I say to, when I hear who they're from and she I share an impeccable trust on these things),Maybe she'll peek in here, too, for me, and update me throughout that period )but being a very intense busy student at university, in a crucial year of her program, she won't have much time to spare. Anyhow, that's not til early Oct. so I'm working hard to get ahead and hopefully after that, will pursue some new projects too I've promised myself. Thanks helper-friends, and on with the show!
