OK OK OK

*OK! I am accepting the thing I cannot change! This blog dealie runs all the sentences together. OK, I quit, no more fighting the powers that be: the blogger people, I concede to you and your programmers! *I still will automatically hit "enter" because that is my formal training, but I will not expect paragraphs to appear because they won't. Thank goodness this thing will still let me end a sentence! *Writing! *Remember regular olden days' typewriters, when you had to throw that 'ole carriage practically across the room to get to the next line? And remember the typing books that opened up to create a little teepee sort of stand. And the funny little pages full of repetious fff jjj fff jjj fff jjj fff jjj? And remember the "ding!!" when the timed test was over? I just loved all of that. *My friend Lawrence of Arabia and me (Jello) would sit for hours taking turns typing funny stories and silly newspapers.*To fix a mistake we had to use a little white piece of correction paper, hold it in-between the paper and hammer-re-type the mistake. But if you made another mistake it became a hopeless mess...so we'd get fed up and just type xxxxx over everything and keep going. *Starting over was not an option...took too much paper, too much time, and sapped the fun out of the whole project. *I wish I still had some of those stories. We 12 year olds thought it was the funniest writing ever, rolling around laughing hysterically!! We were so ready for the Beatle's dry British sense of humor that fit us to a "t". Thanks Ed Sullivan for Richard Pryor and all the up and coming baby boomers' comedy. And of course thank God for the Beatles!

*I don't know, but the Rolling Stones were serious and angry, they just didn't seem that funny to me and funny was all there was keeping the sad away. * *So did all of those asterix's help with the lack of paragraph problem?*

Didn't think so.*
