I've been trying to get into my blog for over a day now, and it keeps saying, "An error occured while trying to process the page." I can get into the forums fine (which is where I posted this) but not so with my blog. I don't know if it's just my browser or system, but if anyone has any idea what this can be, I would appreciate the help.

I don’t know if it’s just me, but the new forum format seems to have taken the “community” out of Joe User. I don’t like that I just can’t scroll down immediately to see everyone’s latest articles on each category. I don’t like that I can’t instantly check, on one page, if my favorite writers have something new up. Sure, I could link to articles from my blog, but I like to use the forums to feel that sense of belonging to this writing community...and with this new design, I haven't fel...

I was cleaning out some stuff in my closet when I came upon an audio cassette that belonged to my sister (even after over a year of both of us having left home, I am still finding some of her stuff in mine). This tape was dedicated to her from a guy she used to go with in high school. It read something along the lines of “I thought of you when I put these songs together. Hope you like it and know how special you are to me.” Even though it sounded corny, I still thought it was sweet. I did...

Looks like anonymous poster has struck again tonight...bumping up articles of long ago. I don't know what the purpose of this is, but it's getting pretty annoying... Will pushing our mental "Ignore" button make him/ her go away? Dunno....it hasn't worked so far. Ah well...what a kook.

I attended a “Goodbye and Good Luck” dinner tonight for my cousin Eileen, who will be leaving for Army basic training tomorrow. Eileen is 18. She is so young, so it’s natural that the family worries about her making such a huge decision. She herself is nervous and sad about this departure, but she also looks forward to the opportunities that it can give her in life. I will miss Eileen...she is one of the cousins I am most close to, for she and my sister basically grew up together. She was...

Nostalgia can be a beautiful thing. It allows you to go back in time and mentally re-live moments in your life. It brings smiles and laughter to your lips. It floods you with all sorts of good feelings. However, sometimes nostalgia can hurt me. I was playing some music last night...and it began to remind me of my family. My mood started out with smiles...but it soon turned sad, really sad. The music I was playing especially reminded me of my sister. When she was younger (from child...

My sunshine, my Digitthemost...he's gone for two weeks. So, here I am on the first bright, hot day of summer feeling like gray clouds are hanging over my head...yeah, yeah, how schmaltzy...but hell, I miss him. Hope he enjoys the time with his family, though...sly guy, he made it a surprise visit, so they are going to be ecstatic! They haven't seen each other in over a year. So, my summer may not be off to a great start, but his is, and I'm happy for him.

It's not even offically summer yet, and we have had several days of 100 plus weather here. Just a few days ago, we hit 106 degrees...yikes. My guy and I have been gulping down iced water like two frat boys chugging on a Friday night... I should thank my lucky stars that it has "cooled" down to the 90s today...Believe it or not, you CAN feel the difference...
