That's right, it is Friday and we are Freaking Out...I have not done this in a while but man it certainly is deserving today!!!!
Yesterday I posted my review of the new Springsteen CD...all is good, until about 3:30pm when I go to check out new comments and THE POST IS GONE...It is not showing up here on The Couch...the post is no longer listed in my post listings...I Google the title and BAM there it is...I click on the link and I get a message "THIS PAGE DOES NOT EXIST"
And I freak...WTF WTF WTF?!?!?!?!?!
I go to the help area here on Blogger - which is a total joke - and post a new subject asking for help and....cue crickets...
yup...NOTHING...
So...I say to myself "SELF, when you get home, just post the damn thing again without the formatting and be done with it"...because luckily, that post I wrote in Word first and then just copied it into blogger.
Well, you know what happens next...
CUE THE MUSIC...

When I get home I look and see a tab open on Firefox that has my posts page on it. I click on that tab and BAM! the post is sitting there with "scheduled" next to it"...now I know it posted, hell you guys saw it and commented, so without refreshing the page...
I say to myself "SELF, click the publish button and see what happens"...
CUE MUSIC...
I say to myself "SELF, click the publish button and see what happens"...
CUE MUSIC...
And BAM! the post reappears! Comments and all!
This has also caused another worry to come back into my world...what happens if blogger has a massive F-UP and all my posts disappear...two, coming up on three years worth of my writing gone forever...
So, I am planning on trying to transfer them all over into my external hard drive just to be safe, but that could take a loooong time...
OK, I am beginning to feel a tad better now - maybe it is the Single barrel Jack helping...mmmmmm ya think?! LOL
Remember to comment on that post, if you want a chance to receive the CD of Working On A Dream...

So, yesterday over at MATT-MAN'S "Bagwine Ruminations" he talked about having to go out and buy cigarettes and booze as they were snowed in and I left a comment that even he enjoyed - will freakin' miracles ever cease???
I post it here again, for all yall to read...I have now been asked by STARRLIGHT of "Here Comes A Storm In The Form Of A Girl" and DIANNE of "Forks Off The Moment" have asked I write their obits and I will be doing that over the next weeks...
So, here is Matt-Man's...hope you giggle....
(Associated Press)
A frozen Matt-Man was found today in Bagwine OH. His fingers were wrapped around the car door of his puke-olive green car.
Investigators have learned he was trying to escape his shared apartment for alcohol and cigarettes, which had run low as a result of a small winter storm.
Government officials took this as an omen and immediately signed into law a bill banning all liquor and cigarettes from the tiny hamlet.
Residents angered by this new law all began protesting by walking around in a glassy-eyed daze uttering the phrases "I'm Matt-Man Bitch" and "Cheers".
The Governor Of Ohio is said to be considering calling in the National guard to put down this "Dawn Of The Dead" like reaction.
When contacted, the room mate of the man now referred to as the "Bagwine Popsicle" had the following statement "S**t, you mean he never even got the booze? Friggin' loser...can someone give me a lift? I need a drink...and a room mate. Jay wanna come move in with me?".
In a related story, Centerra Wine Company, the makers of the product Richard's Wild Irish Rose, today announced they would be laying off 200 workers. In a statement the company said "Damn, that guy was 70% of our market share, we are not sure we will be able to survive this loss." The company plans on erecting a statue of a man frozen to his car door in honor of the "Bagwine Popsicle" at it's corporate headquarters.
