This post, dated 5/5/18 on my computer, says not to post here, but to a separate blog post, but this is the last Ive received so when ten o'clock hits I'll post here by default. It appears fron the lack of questions from others about timing that I'm being dense, but please clarify for me anyway if posting here is wrong.ngcornetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03747166799888397685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17040756.post-74336442831659278652018-05-05T09:36:17.843-04:002018-05-05T09:36:17.843-04:00I've been a faithful lurker for a long time. I...I've been a faithful lurker for a long time. I've only commented twice. Missed the 15-word pitch by a cat hair and was determined to enter this time. <br /><br />When I read this last night, I swear it said 7am, which is 4am here. So, like a good little hamster, I set an alarm for 3am. I knew I'd need coffee, lots of coffee.<br /><br />Needless to say, when I stumbled in bleary-eyed at dark o'clock and re-read this post, I found I was mistaken. <br /><br />I did manage a few fitful hours of sleep, but lordy, I'm tired. Good luck everyone.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13695039170128660973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17040756.post-837783594119864542018-05-05T09:24:00.448-04:002018-05-05T09:24:00.448-04:00
