I certainly hope her daughter was able to at least print off or save stuff to disc. There was years of rich material that she could cherish! And her work was only half done. I do wonder now if she had been sick all along, but never said anything. Very sad.S.

For example, I came across a blog today where the poster was detailing her affair with a married man and she'd decided to break it off with him on Thanksgiving '05. She didn't post again so I was left wondering...what happened? My wild imagination had me thinking the guy was actually a psycho and did something to her once she decided to end things. I'm sure it was something completely innocent, like she broke up with the guy and so decided to end the blog. It's the not knowing that drives me crazy though.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22117802.post-1164417771163370502006-11-25T02:22:00.000+01:002006-11-25T02:22:00.000+01:00I've had similar anxieties when my favorite blogs ...I've had similar anxieties when my favorite blogs go several days without updates.

Someone told me today that they liked the poem because it was like a cross between a digested read of a novel or novella and a poem. Is that a compliment? Well, they liked it, so that's all that matters I suppose. Nice to have you visit, Cath. Call by anytime.S.
