I'm Here-I Know I am but I Don't See Me! I Can See You-I Just Went Pear Shaped.

By
Home Stager

I'm here... I know I am but I don't see me!  I can see you ... I can comment but oops, I just went pear shaped.

Does anyone know where I am?  I’m not joking!  I look in the mirror and I see harry potter wizard
“me”, I’m commenting on your posts and I’m there but I went to look for me and ….. I’m not there.  Well, my profile is but my essence ….my ActiveRain blog can’t be found.  
I feel like Harry Potter and the Cloak of Invisibility.  

Maybe I should turn this into an entry for Roger Mucci’s contest,“Be the Star of Your Own Movie”  but I can’t.....I’m a judge!
 

Phooey!


I think the multitasking “gods” are getting back at me after a post I wrote on “Single Tasking Day”.   If you didn’t read it (and that’s ok, it’s not a plea for you to read it but if you want to feel free. ), it called for a more focused effort for each task we tackle for a better return on our time. That’s it.... they’re saying I shouldn’t be on my own blog right now but I should be focused on commenting.

4pm  Barbara-Jo emails me to say she can’t find me.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It’s now been 2 hours and I’ve discovered that I can’t see Lenn Harley or Gabe Sanders!    

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Oh-Oh---- You lost Lenn Harley!    I would NOT want to be in your shoes, AR Techies!

Thank you ActiveRain!  Pear-shapescome and go,

and I thank you for tackling it as quickly as you did

and for keeping me informed!

Kathy, Well thank goodness...it's nice to see that you are back!  That would be horrible to lose your blog, especially with all the time and effort you put in.

Welcome Back!

Carol-   I agree.  They have always been quick to fix a tech problem.

Dorie- we’ve all been found.  Those pesky computers and  software updates like to play little tricks on us.

Jeanne & Ralph - wouldn’t it be grand if there really were working light sabres!

Bobbie- it was a funny glitch.  I could see my profile page but not my blog.

Scott- I didn’t look too far.  When I saw that Lenn was MIA I figured we’d be found very soon.

Wayne- that thought did cross my mind but realized I don’t know enough to have caused that kind of glitch.

BARFF-   I know you do.  I didn’t want to try to see if you were there because then I don’t think I would have had the heart to tell you.

Valerie- she takes it in stride.  I emailed her and she had already called Kerrie.

BarbaraT- don’t say that.... who would feed Rocky?

Bob- I’m sure you can be found.  My profile page was all intact... it was just my AR blog that you couldn’t get to.

Joanna- oh dear... hadn’t thought of that.  Glad I’m here.

Michael- I agree.  I can spend days being with just me.

Sandy- thanks.  I think I was only gone for a few hours but in the Internet world that can be a long time.

Kevin- memories of my early college years just came flooding back!

Kristin- they really are.   I haven’t had that many but they are really great.

Christine- It was a little like playing hide & seek when you were a little kid.

Kathy~ That "pear shaped" thing was driving me nuts yesterday. I was trying to write my HUD Home post and I couldn't get the "write a post" screen to open! I was commenting like crazy and I was able to post one of my drafts, thank goodness. I'm just glad it's not a problem today!

Actually I disappeared for a little bit yesterday too only I thought I had been robbed.  I did a post on my I pad (not easy for me) and submitted it. When I looked on my home page someone had swiped my 200 points.  I checked on who is right behind me but they didn't have them so I had to go to the big girl laptop and do it over.

I don't think anyone looks forward to the PEAR shaped comment especially when you have a PEAR shaped body like mine. :~) Enjoy the day

What a scary feeling that must have been, to discover all that blog history gone!  As Thomas Wolfe said,

   O Lost, and by the wind grieved, ghost, come back again.

Which it did!  So all is well, thank goodness.
