For some reason I'm still missing some posts even though I've checked that box. I've noticed that on various threads. And I have checked my spam box too and they are not there. I can't figure out what is happening.

If I can remember (sometimes this fibro brain fog is so irritating) I'll check with my husband, maybe he can figure it out.

Thanks.

Is there anything I can do to help?

Like....

Email an Alert to you each time I post? And nag you incessantly?

I really wouldn't nag you, but I could email or post Alerts.

I hate missing anything, but I wouldn't want to add to your work load.

Probably Missed This one, sorry.

Hi,
I missed all of these. If too late, I enjoyed this lesson just the same. It was very helpful.
Thank you,
Cindy

One of my favorite things is doing the laundry. It’s relaxing to me, and nothing makes me happier than my hanging clothes in the sunshine. My neighbor, whose husband is a truck driver, says she doesn’t have time, so she dries hers in a dryer. I love the way ours smell so fresh, not perfumed like theirs. I learned to love laundry from my grandmother. She’d laugh at my swirling the sudsy water with my fingers. Hers were red and raw at day’s end, with their having so much laundry and her using homemade soap.

Cindy, I just posted this over on Ann's other thread, but I'll add it here just in case you miss one.

Ann's on vacation for a few days (Canada's COLD in February!), but she'll be back after she's warmed up down south. I'm sure she'll be glad to check out your comma paragraph then--no marks off for being late, either!
