“You stupid little astrodroid.” – Super Battle Droid, Star Wars III: Revenge of the Sith
I went into my spam file today – always a joy - and found genuine comments from different people who have commented before. This was bizarre but not impossible, so I clicked on and approved them. Only to see them all disappear into the ether. ARGH.
Sooo if you left a genuine comment and it is not showing up under the post as expected, this is the reason why. I haven’t blocked you or put you on the naughty list. My blogging software was just acting like a stupid little astrodroid. I’m due for an upgrade and will be moving that task higher up the list now.
Anakin Skywalker: “Ray shields.”
Obi-Wan: “Wait a minute. How did this happen? We’re smarter than this.”
Anakin Skywalker: “Apparently not. I say patience.”
Obi-Wan: “Patience?”
Anakin Skywalker: “Yes. R2 will be along in a few moments and then… he’ll release us from the ray shields.”
[R2 comes skidding across the hallway and bashes into the opposite wall]
Anakin Skywalker: “See? No problem.”
Star Wars III: Revenge of the Sith
OK, for all of you out there with witty words of homeschooling insight, bitter words regarding in-laws, and moments of “OMG you won’t believe what this kid just did”… I’m sorry. I took a couple of weeks away from blogger land and am now slogging through page after page after page of must-read blogs on my reader. I do this once a year, when the need strikes, and you’d think I’d learn by now. I am smarter than to be surprised by the result, but… well, I guess I’m not.
Seriously, you folks are prolific! Take a nap or something. Go shovel the drive way. Knit a pair of felted slippers. You southern folks are cold enough to need the additional exercise to help warm up, right? Give a girl some catch-up time!
Han Solo: “You said you wanted to be around when I made a mistake. Well, this could be it, sweetheart.”
Princess Leia: “I take it back.”
Star Wars V: The Empire Strikes Back
I just realized this morning that my recent system upgrade has been arguing with my theme and not allowing comments. Please forgive the gaff. I’ve upgraded the theme, done some tweaking, and it appears that the blog is back in order.
And as a status upgrade, Eileen’s husband is out of surgery and doing well. Apparently he was walking around with a gallbladder so nasty that you wouldn’t have wanted to meet it alone in a dark alley. Hopeful thoughts go out to him and Eileen for Christmas at HOME rather than in the hospital.
Lando: Lord Vader, what about Leia and the Wookiee?
Darth Vader: They must never again leave this city.
Lando: That was never a condition of our agreement, nor was giving Han to this bounty hunter!
Darth Vader: Perhaps you think you’re being treated unfairly?
Lando: [after a pause] No.
Darth Vader: Good. It would be unfortunate if I had to leave a garrison here.
Lando: This deal is getting worse all the time.

If you’re getting this through a feed reader, you’ll notice that my feeds have been changed to summary versus full feed. I’m sorry; I hate having to do this right now but there is a method to my madness. Just click on the title and it’ll bring you to a page with the full content. Again, please excuse the inconvenience. I’m working on the matter.
OMK

So, you made it! Welcome. I hope you enjoy the new place, as I have been having a lot of fun setting it up. Please be sure to adjust your feed readers and your sidebar links, and tell me what you think. Especially anything that is annoying or missing

about any cool new widget apps that I simply must try. I can use java-based widgets now! Oh, the freedom. Oh, the joy!
Praises and song (and if I lived closer a homemade apple pie) to Bob Cook, who got me up and running.
