Mostly whimsy and drivel of no consequence. And CHEESE.
And there’s no connection to David Letterman’s production company here. This is a GLOBAL title.
Trust the Guru, naturally. And why? Because you tell him that you cannot get comments – an earth-shattering crisis, of course, especially when you consider Grettir’s leisurely and undemanding existence.
It’s all about ME, remember. When you are making your priority lists please bear that in mind. That fact that Grettir is a single parent of two “tween” girls, the steward and conservator of their school’s whole problematic computer network, a full-time computer spy-busting megastar (you’ve not heard of him? Well, he’s very popular in Bangalore), a part-time University student, a sometimes UN-retired actor, an active part of his church community, the savior of endless computers and systems belonging to friends and relatives, studied archivist of the Tiny Pineapple Nurse Book Collection®, the King and Emperor of the Tiny Pineapple System and All Misadventures Entailed Therein™, and the finest damn ironer I know (sorry Mom, you’re good, but he could iron in the Olympics – when they add ironing as a medal-earning event, that is – of course his Mother taught the World Everything Worth Knowing About Laundry™…), PALES in comparison to the fact that I couldn’t get comments for like THREE DAYS. And sometimes I get FIVE COMMENTS for a SINGLE ENTRY!
Yes, I’m a pretty sorry excuse for a…something.
I welcome your comments and suggestions herein and therefore and ALL about it.

You might think I neglected you, but this impression would be quite wrong. I tried to leave a message last week, oh,many posts ago, and when I hit “comment” the page hung and hung and then I had to shut down.
You must not think I have forgotten you, O Kate The Wondrous Cat Dog Healer Fundraiser Redheaded Person.
Oh, no.
I am always plotting things for you.
Most of all, I think of you, lots. Not my fault your web re-design was so unwelcome to visitors.
Heh.

Huzzah for Terry to visit!
Yes, unbeknownst to me, my site was being unfriendly. But it’s BLUE – you MUST think that’s better. That’s the first thing I thought: TERRY WON’T GET VERTIGO!
BTW, super skinny cougar lady, congratulations on the new JOB and I hope that you have new shoes that are comfortable (and still approved by Stacy and Clinton).
And, sadly, I must remind you that I am a dog KILLER and I haven’t raised a fund in ages. I suck.

Weird. I momentarily transmogrified into the Movable Type® wrench. I don’t know what that means.
And yes, I know I have a mystery empty column…
Everyone must remember that term WORK IN PROGRESS!

Love your new web design!
Hey, don’t feel like you’d suck with any fundraising. What would that make me? Pretty much of a failure, I guess. Most of the people who promised to support my fundraising or even sponsor me in some way, just didn’t follow up on their promises, so I’m left with not even coming remotely close to my goal. Oh well, better luck next time!
Did your sidebar get even longer? Sure seems that way. Amazing!

Dear Henrike,
Please tell me you ARE going! No, you didn’t make $5,000 (for which I feel at least partially responsible), but, as you said on your blog:
I, personally, am SO impressed with what you’ve accomplished and with your amazing attitude!
I hope that you’ll let me be a part of this continuing journey. I do have ideas, I do have LOTS of Lance Armstrong books (unfortunately unsigned, but at least I have them) to give as prizes, I have some ideas; I hope that when I feel a little better myself (I’m a wimp – knocked out by NON-CANCEROUS tumours) I will get back to “OUR CAUSE!”
P.S. I’ve planned to write about Crazy, Sexy Cancer, too. I may include some of your take on it (with permission, of course).
Take care,
Kate

Of course, I’m going! What do you think? I won’t let a tiny little problem like lack of money keep me from participating in this amazing event! Nah. I just had to do lots of overtime work to pay for my own plane ticket and all the other stuff. I’ve met so many people and most of them are a lot worse off than little me, so who am I to complain?
Hope you’ll get better soon! And you’ll always be a part of “our journey” for as long as you want to be, I hope you know that!
Feel free to use anything you like from the crazy sexy cancer post- that girl is truly amazing!

I have always thought that you have taken the word-maker-upper role to a level at which only the occasional earth-orbiting satellite can reach. So imagine how enchanted I was to realize that “transmogrified” is actually a real word!

Thank you, Deborah.
I have always preferred transmogrification to “transmuting” or “morphing.” And as for “changing?” Phhht, I say.
“Phhht” should be a word, too, but no one ever said the World – and most certainly not English – was fair.
