Oh how I just wish
that I could sit right down and write,
but I have been fighting
with this darn computer all night.

I love this little place,
it gives my thoughts a chance to roam,
it feels so warm and friendly,
like a poet family home.

You see the problem is,
I write my words and post,
but then I can not see them,
when I return to my host.

It becomes so frustrating,
no matter what I try,
it won't show me what's been said,
darn it I could cry.

So when I do not always answer,
remember it's not me
it's because my darn computer,
the words I can not see!!

Ack! That sounds completely frustrating Gentle Spirit ... you've expressed it well!

Maybe one of the techies here could help out. Have you tried posting a question, maybe in the question/answer Forum? Someone may be able to identify the problem for you. Good luck!

Best wishes,

See this is why this is so frustrating, the main page tells me there is replys to this, my email tells me there are replys to this,
and I can't see them........sigh.....but I truly do think the poets here are great. I just wish I could see it before tomorrow.

Thanks everyone. It's just frustrating because I even downloaded the newest version of explorer after this started happening at this forum, and it is still doing it. It just drives me nuts!!
