OMG!!! I can't BELIEVE it!!! Chuck Macquire of Gather, one of his tech people and I were on the phone for almost two hours today trying to figure out WHY I haven't been able to post here on Gather SINCE THE 3RD OF JULY and I think they've done it!!

I can't TELL you how excited I am to be back on GATHER!!! I've got SO MANY THINGS I want to tell you about and I want you to see that I haven't been able to for all this time!!

Get ready for a veritable FLOOD of articles, photo-essays and photos from YOURS TRULY!!!

I've been doing the happy dance for the last 20 minutes!!!

I'M JAZZED!!!

I hope you all haven't forgotten about me... It's been SO LONG and I'm so GLAD to be BACK!!!

Luv to you all (especially Chuck and "Philly Techie") for making this post possible!!!

And now, a photo -- just to show that I CAN!!

Yeah, Chuck....you're the man!

Thanks so, SO much, Krystal, Deb, Aniko & ee!!!

Aniko: Apparently it was an "optimizer" setting supplied by WildBlue!
Wilma M. Aug 19, 2009, 6:23pm EDT
Glad to see you are back.

I just saw another post by someone who was able to be back online and mentioned something about WildBlue messing up their computer.
Jean, just the teensiest bit odd, F. Aug 19, 2009, 6:29pm EDT
Thanks, Wilma! Yah... hindsight is 20/20, it appears... lol! However, it IS better than dial-up and THAT'S a FACT!
Esther IS Flesh and Blood S. Aug 19, 2009, 6:30pm EDT

Jean, just the teensiest bit odd, F. Aug 19, 2009, 6:44pm EDT
I'm sorry you're having problems, Julie... I can sympathize COMPLETELY!!!
Peter Joseph Swanson Aug 19, 2009, 6:45pm EDT
I don't know what Wild Blue is and maybe that's ok !!!

WELCOME BACK !!!
Eric Cabot Steed Aug 19, 2009, 6:46pm EDT
And I thought you were on 'sabbatical'. I'm glad you're back. I missed you ...
Peter Joseph Swanson Aug 19, 2009, 6:46pm EDT
I had some trouble with I.E. knocking me totally off the internet when I came to Gather but no troubles with Firefox.
Jennifer R. Aug 19, 2009, 6:53pm EDT
How incredibly frusterating glad to see you are back...
Jean, just the teensiest bit odd, F. Aug 19, 2009, 7:06pm EDT
Thanks so much, Peter, Eric & Jennifer! In the words of Minnie Pearl:

"I'm just so PROUD ta be here!"

;o)
Julia Star Aug 19, 2009, 7:31pm EDT
I wondered where you went to. I just figured you were outside, enjoying the sunshine, taking pictures to share.
Lucky Stars Aug 19, 2009, 7:41pm EDT
Welcome back Jean!
You're not happy or anything are you? LOL!

I'm not around here much myself lately.....
Adrian Eve Revenaugh Aug 19, 2009, 8:02pm EDT
So, you were not on safari to the darkest jungles of Neena-rubu? No fever 'n' ague, dropsy or need for asafoetida. Thank goodness and glad to see your return!

I've been MIA for a bit as well... we'll have to stir up a bit of trouble.

Thanks to Mr. Chuck.

Welcome back, Jean! Glad you got things fixed, as I know how frustrating that can be!! Look forward to your photos.

Nice Shot, kiddo!

You're going to flood us with articles now aren't you, lololol! I'll do my best to catch those I can. Still dealing with contractors crews and house repair from the April tornado. I'm not on as much.
Jean, just the teensiest bit odd, F. Aug 20, 2009, 1:16am EDT
Hey there, Sassy, Sue & Syl! (Hope all works out with your abode, hun... And YES, I'm going to flood Gather with photos and articles! Hey, I've been saving them up for TWO MONTHS!) :o)
Gary (aka: William Pinn) J. Aug 20, 2009, 1:36pm EDT
So you finally got out of prison. Good for you. Hopefully you will learn a lesson...oh wait.. I see... you were having technical issues. My bad, and congrats! YEEEEEEHAAAAAW!!!

Great photo, i love it.
Rose H. Aug 20, 2009, 9:12pm EDT
Hey girl - glad you dropped by today and that you got it all sorted out. I wondered what happened to you:)

YAY for Chuck!
Jean, just the teensiest bit odd, F. Aug 21, 2009, 5:31pm EDT
Thanks so much, Gary, Debra, Rosa and Rose! I'm still trying to post all the articles I've been saving up -- hopefully, then things will calm down enough that I can concentrate on looking at all the things I've missed over the last two months. (That will be a JOB and a HALF!) ;o)
I do think Chuck can fix anything! :) Welcome back, 'bout time you got this fixed and I have no idea what that thing you said it was, hopefully, I don't have it! LOL

Marilyn
