Correspondence Guessing Game
March 25, 2008My computer has a boo-boo, and I don’t know where to apply the Mercurochrome happy-face (anybody old enough to remember that stuff?)
Anyways, SIGH. I’ve tried commenting on several people’s blogs over the past couple days, but when I hit the “submit comment” button, they disappear. My techily-inclined partner claims there’s a glitch in the Matrix; I think my comments have fallen through the dryer blackhole to hang out with the singleton socks. Any other guesses would be appreciated (or giggled over).
Meanwhile, here are, to the best of my remembry, the comments I tried to leave. See if you can recognize the one intended for you. (And if work is really slow, check my blogroll to see if you can match each comment to the right entry.)
1. Great visual of “Maypoling”!
2. Looks like it was a lot of fun, and for a good cause! I’m imagining a teeny wooden sparrow perched on the far side of St Francis’s birdbath.
3. I love signs of previous lives too; I prefer getting shivers from them than from subzero temperatures. Interesting repro and photo compare-and-contrast. Does the old photo show a tin roof? Less romantic than the wooden shingles, but a lot quicker to install. I remember in New Zealand seeing artifacts made from corrugated sheet metal, but I think they were more twentieth-century. Did Australia go through a corrugated craze too?
4. Poor little Sparky! It’s amazing — and scary — to read about all the potential problems when they’re that young. I’m glad to know that he and his sisters are getting the remedial help they need.
My latest (or in one case, first) comments on the other blogs in the ‘roll are up to date.
By the way, if you haven’t yet, don’t forget to enter the great Name-and-Genderize-the-Sea-Turtle-Stuffy contest (see March 24 entry)!
