Sometimes I really HATE technology.

For months I have not been getting emails at my southron@UruguayLÑiving.com account.  I just figured that everyone was bored with me and no longer bothered to write,  I admit that I was a little surprised that no one evn bother to spam me as well, but being incredibly busy, in between being sick, hospitalized, having body parts removed, etc., I really didn’t spend much time on it…

Until yesterday when i realized that my UruguayLiving.com email was not getting through because one kind person sent me a private message on www.SociedadSouthron.net asking if I had gotten their email.

I think my computer needs to be exorcised–for no conceivable reason, I have not been getting my email since 11 April 2008.

In the words of Gomer Pyle:  “surprise, surprise, surprise”.  I just downloaded 16.531 emails totalling 21.MB of space.  The Spam catcher is still sorting through them and the number to which I must respond is dropping steadily.

So, to all those who have written me, I humbly apologize for not responding–sometimes it takes me a while, but I try to respond to every legitimate email I get…

After Epiphany (Tres Reyes) I am going to bring a priest here to bless the house and office AND exorcise the computer and exchange server–I wonder if metal can blister?

Maybe snail mail is faster?

    and I thought you just didn’t like me :-)

    MEA CULPA, MEA CULPA MEA MAXIMA CULPA.

    After slogging through the 750 emails remaining after the Spam catcher did its work, I was still swamped. So I made a command decision (which I hope turns out better than Pickett’s Charge) and decided that any email from earlier than October 1 was stale–so I deleted them.

    I will try to respond to the rest of the emails this weekend. If you wrote before 1 October and your subject is still pending, please feel free to send me another email. I am hoping the account will keep working, at least long enough to bring in the Exorcist…

    I probable had one or two in the delete pile but as I can’t remember what I had for breakfast yeserday, there’s no way I can rmrber what I wrote about. Glad you’re still with us and hope to meet you when we make our home buying trip in May.
