ok...since you've asked i'll tell you a tale of just where i've been no...i wasn't in jail no earthquake nor flood is what kept me away not fire nor famine did cause my delay not illness nor pain did hinder my visits no physical anguish kept me from your sonnets i wasn't held captive by alien beings or caught up in some kind of illegal dealings for 'twas no such drama that kept me from here from people and poetry i hold so dear so, "what then?", you ask could have caused my departure the culprit, my friend is my BLASTED COMPUTER!! ~vlraynes "...until you have read the verse on his |

Vicky, So is that little pic a demonstration of how you type..lol. Cause you have to be nice to the little puter. You have to talk to it and say sweet things. Read it some poetry aloud just to calm it down. Dust it and clean its screen.... never raise you voice to it. They tend to frown on that and sulk and shutdown. Always blame it on the software so as not to hurt the computers feelings... and just to keep him spry, do monthly defrags and Scandisk. Cute poem, don't read that one outloud though... Parker |

Vicky~ A D O R A B L E ! LOL ... I like the way you handle a 'tune-up' ! Parker did offer some saged advice ... always be kind ... they can retalitate ! (And he said .. 'de-FRAG' ... not 'be-HEAD' !) *Hugs* ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

yeah, I'd say go with the softly stroking idea. I'm sure it'll perk him up nicely. Parker |

A very clever reply, and I am lucky my son owns two computer companies, so I just go get me another one! Whew! "Lose your temper and you lose a friend; lie and you lose yourself." |
