    An Important Message to All of Our Lovely Members (Please Read)

    Our PM system is being pruned
    don't let your saved PMs be ruined
    Scan through your stuff, if you would
    making a copy of what you deem good
    We want you to keep what you desire
    for we can't retrieve what's tossed in the fire
    Thank you for taking the time to read
    hope this awful piece didn't make your eyes bleed.



    Seriously, guys, check your messages and make a local copy to preserve what you desire to keep. Once it's gone, we can't get it back. Thank you.

    Hahahahha! That's what poets do, put messages across in poems. I'd written a letter to my brother's principal once, about finding his lost shoe.

    Lisa, of course this is how you would deliver a serious message, with your trademark humour. A clever attention getter. God! If I lost our PM's!

    Just curious, Farah, did you ever recover the shoe? lol.

    Forewarned is forearmed, Law, I just don't want anyone to lose anything that is important to them.

    Thanks, my ladies, you gave me cause to bump this ensuring it gets more exposure.

    Oh yeah, the shoe was recovered. With a lot of amusement it was searched too, considering the way the letter was written.

    Surely it's framed and hanging in the principal's office, a one of a kind, I'd say. lol.

    A little humour, and good humour, not only gets the message across, it promotes responses ensuring maximum exposure, good thinking.

    Thanks, Olly and you, too, Law. Don't know about you guys, but all of my PMs are now gone. Hope you all saved what you needed.

    Another horror. Yesterday my screen froze and had to call tech support. My computer is chock full of problems. Programs running behind the scene etc, etc. We had to start from sratch which meant I lost all my files. (Lost my flash drive long ago. Should have replaced it). Fortunately, the only important files where my poetry. It will take some time but I can at least copy them from here into Word.

    Ringing in my head. Buying back up!

    I did loose all in my Favorites (WF being my favorite in Favorites.) Hours and hours spent trying to log back in. I had forgotten my passoword - a lesson for me. However, I recieved no new password from WF in my e-mail. Unlike any other forum. Well hours passed. I was quite saddened and exhausted by the whole ordeal. Then it came in my e-mail about four hours later.

    I think I might write Pawn clever little poem like yours Lisa but I would need your help!
