THOSE WHO'VE known me for any length of time are aware that I find multi-tasking difficult ... things like chewing gum and driving a car at the same time.
But I don't let that stop me.
This week, for example, I'm taking Squiggles & Giggles to a new level ... and I do hope it's higher, rather than the dreaded LOWER.
Let me back up just a bit. Squiggles began life as a "newsletter" that was sent out occasionally to family and friends ... a means of sharing some of my poetry ... though I suspected that some who "subscribed" to the newsletter may have done so under duress.
This went happily along ... actually becoming a weekly event ... until a certain Internet Service Provider suddenly stopped it, even though all the recipients of Squiggles had ASKED to receive it. But that's another story.
Squiggles re-emerged as a weekly online posting. That went happily along, too, until it seemed that I was mainly talking to myself. Squiggles and I went on vacation.
Somewhat later, Squiggles stretched and yawned and started up again ... as an online posting.
And now here we are ... you ARE here, aren't you? ... in still another format ... at another location. I hope you'll take a look and let me know what you think. I'm thinking the new location ... once I get moved in ... will offer more features than we have now.

MY APOLOGIES to anybody whose e-mail response may have gotten misplaced in the stacks here at Brimm Manor. I do value your comments ... in fact, depend on them to keep Squiggles going ... and I do hope I get still another chance to make amends.

LOREE (Kansas) ... remember? ... was having a major problem with her trash pickup company, and they parted ways ... but let's let her tell it:
"I started the day by bringing a 55-gallon steel barrel across the pasture, through the big gate, and into its new location where I will now burn the paper trash.
"All the years we used that service ... they were not punctual ... but they wasted no time at all in picking up their two-wheeled, bulky cart that I had such a close relationship with ... for probably 15 years.
"But, hey ... relationships break up all the time ... I'm not shedding any tears at all. I'm thinking of how I can use that $400-plus that I'll save in the next twelve months."

BOOK NOOK - HELEN (Florida) has had computer problems recently ... big problems ... but that has given her some extra reading time. Among others, she read "The Shack," found it a bit strange, and definitely depressing. Now she's concentrating on "After All These Years," by Susan Isaacs ... and she finished "John Adams, 1776."
