From my email archives:
Wouldn’t you just love to actually put one of these on your email at work one day? I’m sure at least one of these will make you grin. (BTW, just to be clear ? I have no idea where these came from and take no credit for them.)
Why Can't I Leave Well Enough Alone?
by patndoris on Nov.27, 2008, under Musings
To those of you who had problems with my blog today - my deepest apologies. I don’t know why when something works well, I still feel the need to try and fiddle with it. The result today was five hours of frantic hair pulling for me, and some annoyances to you.

No, I don’t want to know what’s new with you. Well, I do, but that’s not why I’m blogging. If you want to chat, feel free to grab me on my Pingbox (which you can reach from my contacts page.) Now, I want to tell you about a fantastic little desktop RSS aggregator I’m giving a whirl.

We’re not gonna talk about big foot stomping chunky wrestlers in little thongy kinda things (I’m sure you’ve got a great visual going now don’t you? Don’t answer - I don’t want to know…) or humongous African animals floating in the river and their pounding charges after safari tourists. We’re gonna talk software update monitoring. Now that’s an exciting topic don’t you think?

I’ve been wondering when it would happen, and wondering what was amassing n the meantime. I’ve had it for ages now - and who was cleaning up after it?
