Okay try to follow me here. I know it is hard, but try.

I opened Sharon's poem in Open, "In My Drawers," read the latest comments, pushed the "Balladeer" button, which usually takes me back to the top or beginning of Today's poems in Open, and ended up in Philosophy 101! (Now this may be a hint perhaps - that is where I left off last night before I closed this thing off?

So, I went, Hmmm," and decided to go to Today's Topics, but this time I went to Philosophy's first thread, "Murder v Kill" then went to the end, pushed the Balladeer icon that usually takes me back to all the poems in today's Philosophy Section and it took me to the "Main Forums."

Each time it gives me a "Redirection Failure" before deciding to go whevever it wants, but usually somewhere I have been - got that? I am using Firefox you guys, and maybe the "Balladeer" button won't work for me now? It sure didn't work all that well in person either

LOL! (That was a joke Michael!)

To sum up this long story, every time I use Balladeer's button to get back to the beginning, I end up somewhere else? Just so you know, Michael would say, "That figures!"

So, how is your day?

I don't even think I have a Balladeer button.

Geesh Martie, you don't know what you are missing until you push that button

It is in the upper and lower right on every topic page between Previous and Next. Follow these dots, ...................... ..................................................now, look down.

Good grief! Just like when you call a plumber, only the sink decides to work before he arrives ... I just pushed the dumb thing and guess what? It took be back to the top of this page of topics. Ron can't be that fast at fixing, or can he?

Nope! Still goes ballistic! Soon is good.

Ahah! You must have been in that private forum before Martie, or it would not remember you? Ahhh but the plot now thickens

He, he, well we will leave this mystery with "the man" and I have to go babysit anyway. See ya soon!

well, Sharon, anytime you push my button while Open and "In My Drawers", you will always be taken to the top...sounds reasonable to me!

Martie...you have pressed my button more times than you know over the years....thank you!!!

Apparently the Balladeer button goes by the same credo Balladeer does....."DON'T FOLLOW ME - I'M LOST, TOO!"
