OH MY GOD! THAT WASN'T MY BLOG FOR TODAY. I have been having technical difficulties that Joel cannot fix - it has to do with the older and newer versions of WORD, so I put that "blah blah" thing up just to test the format. It was supposed to go in the back up version, not the version that gets posted on the Internet. I have removed it, and will post a new blog around supper time. Yikes! If you hadn't put up this topic, I probably wouldn't have caught that until I posted the new blog. The first trial version was all xxxxx's.
well i think she should just leave it as the blog for today! unlike her yes, and yet speaks soooo much..we wouldhave thought she was fed up and not in the mood to blog any more and we ALL would have 'got it'! its ok, joan!! divvi mary i bet you did laugh out loud. i did too.
Sorry guys, I screwed up all over the place with that one, and when I removed it from the web design page, I also removed it from the back up pages, so I don't have it anywhere. Honest, I looked. I can't believe it is getting that much attention.
As I recall, it looked like this:
-"Good afternoon everyone. I am back to website work after a whirlwind visit from my son and daughter-in-law. They arrived Friday night from San Francisco, and left Tuesday afternoon. It was wonderful to see them. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And so forth and so on. More blah, blah, blah."
That was it. That's all there was to it, and somehow, it took on a life of it's own. Everyone thought it was funny. Darned if I know why. I was hysterical when I realized it made it to the Internet. As I said, the "blah" words were there because I was just testing to see if the blog would fit in the web design space and come out right on the Internet - technical problems have resulted in some real messes, so I test everything first - always on a back up page that doesn't show up on the Internet. Except for this time.
There was a TV show in the late 80s, I think, and the character's name was Grace and she was divorced with three children, one a baby, a 9 or 10 year old and a teenager. Her boss at work would start a lecture and say "this is the way I want it done, blah, blah, blah....as if you know what he means to say...and he did it all of the time. Joan's blog reminded me of that....because I've been here daily for a year (I think) I feel I know her...and how she thinks, so I knew what she would have said - but it was so out of character, I laughed until tears rolled down my face! <grin>
