I’ve been trying to figure out why I haven’t gotten a single email on my personal account all day. Not even SPAM!
Then I remembered I converted my home system over to Mozilla Thunderbird last night. I believe I left it running and forgot to disable auto-mail-downloading. So, don’t send me anything important, I won’t get it until tonight.
It makes me paranoid, not knowing what emails might be coming in. It’s irrational, but addiction is addiction.
Plus, I never know when a comment’s been posted, ‘less I check that newfangled comment page LJ set up.

On a side, techie note, does anyone use Thunderbird, and if so, have you figured out how to make the comment reply forms in the emails work?
Hrm. Sounds to me like you need a very long stick.
Yup. About 23 miles long, if it happened to have grown into the shape of 400/285/85, but probably less if it’s been sheltered from the wind so’s it grows ramrod straight.
You must require a snack for such a long journey twice each day.
I believe I have mentioned the goldfish crackers between the seat cushions before.
So you have. I wasn’t aware that you were stashing them for emergencies.
I’m like Grizzly Adams. I live off the land. One must not turn up ones nose at the bounty nature provides.
I used to keep a PopTart in my glovebox for such emergencies, but now the owner’s manual takes up so much room that the PopTart gets squished.
Try not to think of it as “squished”, but rather “delicately blended”.
Is there a finer fast and trashy treat in this old world than a brown sugar cinnamon poptart and a Coke in a can?
Well, okay, porkskins and a Tahitian Treat, but how often are you in South Georgia?
Blueberry poptart and coke in a bottle, but I think we are on the same wavelength, otherwise.
I am almost never in South Georgia. Nothing against it, just the wind never blows me that way.
It blows me that way, but I mostly resist it.
I really like Tahitian Treat, though.
I have seen that beverage on the store shelf, but that is as close as I’ve come to a relationship with that particular consumable.
It is red and fizzy and delicious.
It’s like orange, only red.
I seem to remember something called Red Pop from my youth, though that may not have been a brand name.
Not the same. Not the same AT ALL.

Yes, I use Thunderbird! And Firefox! Right now! See, hanging out with 19-year-old computer geeks is a good thing!
But no, I don’t know how to do it. I’ll ask ’em.

Go and ask, young grasshopper, and try not to leer whilest doing it.
