It's Happened Again

Andrea Barnett Budin · 09-25-2008, 05:07 PM

I'M NOT GETTING NOTIFIED W/CONTACT INFO IN THREADS I HAVE POSTED IN.

ANYONE ELSE? SHOULD I TAKE IT PERSONALLY??

Andi

fauxgypsy · 09-25-2008, 05:12 PM

Nope. It happens to me as well. Sometimes I get notified, sometimes I don't. The Force is still with you , Andi.

So far I've had no problems...knock on wood. It must be a small glitch caused from switching server's that needs worked out.

I know that has happend to me before too and it took awhile before I figured out why it was happening to me.
I realized that there are many times I forget to log on and e-mail notifications will not be sent unless we log back onto the site.

I doesn't seem that the rest of the forums work that way though. The forum "Keeping your mind off BC", I forget to return to that forum until I get an e-mail that a new reply has been posted so that has become a reminder for me.

Actually, Andi, it is you. Several weeks ago, Joe and I were grilling some steaks and beer-drinking in his backyard. He seemed a little quiet, so I gripped his shoulder, looked him in the eye, and said, "what's wrong, Joe?" "Bill, this site has one too many members, and I'm not sure who to cut loose" I quickly offered to get him another beer and lifted the lid on the grill and flipped the steaks over, fanning the aroma towards Joe. "It's not me, is it, Joe? 'cause I can bring these steaks over anytime. I know a 'guy' than can gimme a good price". Joe took a big swig of his Michelob and waved his hand around,"No, it's not you, Bill" "Joe, you don't need to say it. I already know it's Andi, isn't it?" Joe teared up and just nodded yes into his beer, and then held his empty bottle out to me. I hauled ass into the kitchen and grabbed anothe one for him. Christine caught me, though, and said, "what's taking so long with the steaks out there?" "Uhhh, we just wanna get 'em right. I think they're almost done. Be right back!" I sprinted back to Joe with his fresh beer. "Joe, my brother, I had an idea. I can take care of this problem for you. What if we just don't notify Andi via e-mail whenever someone responds to a post she has made?" Joe whispered, "Bill, what if this can be traced back to me?" I looked him dead in the eye and said,"Sir, I will be your G. Gordon Liddy and you are my Nixon." Joe took a swig of beer, grinned, and said, "let's eat"

Hahahahahahahaha! Just had to respond. Geez Bill, why are you NOT an author. I'd buy your books - you are good!!!!!

Cheers,

Mary Jo

DanaRT · 09-27-2008, 07:05 AM

It is off and on...

Bill terrific writing, you should be published!

juanita · 09-27-2008, 04:59 PM

oh bill, what a tale!
i get notified off and on so it's not just you andi!

Andrea Barnett Budin · 09-28-2008, 12:10 PM

Here's the deal. I do not get along well with computers.

At my hair salon, I went to pay. The several receptionists were all Very busy. Finally, one (who I hadn't meant before) said, Okay, What's your name? I said, Andrea. Her mouth fell open and then she smiled. YOU'RE THE ONE. EVERY TIME WE TYPE IN YOUR NAME -- THE COMPUTER CRASHES! I swear, it is really weird. The other receptionists stopped and turned and said, It's true. Every time we enter your name the computer freezes.

I assured them that I was truly a nice person, and to please not take this mishap personally.

So now I have some clarity here with the malfunctioning notification thingy on this site. The HER2 site sees me and somehow senses my energy and ignores me. It's definitely not Joe. He loves me, I'm sure. How could he not??

But the site is acting very rudely at times lately, as you already know. I will try sending out a more receptive signal from here on. Maybe that'll work... Seems to be behaving since I rechanneled...

Andi, I think maybe the computer is in kahoots with your ego....and they are just trying to test your spirit's inner strength.

BTW, I have never noticed any lapses with threads I have posted.

hermiracles · 09-28-2008, 05:25 PM

Hey Andi - you can always channel my way! :-)) I can just look at that beautiful photo of you and I feel well! LOL!

Love you folks ~ laughter is always the best medicine eh?

Blessings
Hermiracles (Marilyn;-))

Andrea Barnett Budin · 09-29-2008, 07:11 AM

Hmmmm... Maryanne, you could be on to something here. Machines make me feel strikingly inadequate, vulnerable, helpless and ill-equipped. Just plain intimidated.

Egoically I wish and want this not to be so. This creates the intensity of wanting, which is confrontational and therefore wreaking with negativity.

Whereas when enthusiasm encounters obstacles in the form of adversity and uncooperative entities it walks around them by yielding the opposing energy and turning it into a helpful one. The foe becomes the friend.

Enthusiasm and ego cannot coexist. Much like faith and fear.

Just now I accidentally hit a button on my remote control and my TV is total static. I have frustratedly pushed every button on the remote to rectify the problem and -- nuttin.

Now of I can find a way to *channel* (no pun intended) my frustration and fear into enthusiasm, I could perhaps rectify my problem. OR -- I could wait till Paul comes home and let him fix it in a jiff.

Note I have given up (at least temporarily) and am catching up on e's. Much more productive at the moment.

Is ego akin to evil forces, do you think? I am suddenly seeing that you add a *d* to evil -- you have the devil. Just thinking out loud. So to speak...

The voice in my head says you are a dolt Andrea and you will never defeat the static situation. I am going back in there, armed with my Spiritual connection and see what I can do. I AM STRONG, BRAVE AND DETERMINED...

And I am channeling major positive energy to you Hermi! To be sure!!

tricia keegan · 09-29-2008, 08:07 AM

Bill that was priceless!! Thanks for the laugh!
(Sorry Andi)

PinkGirl · 09-29-2008, 09:29 AM

Andi,
Nothing can make you feel inadequate without your permission.
And remember, I'll always fix your computer for you

harrie · 09-29-2008, 11:15 PM

Good advice PinkGirl. Yea Andi, when you see the trauma coming your way, recognize it and deal with it in anyway OTHER then with fustration and irritability. You can always walk away and deal with it later. And what is good with computers is you can shut it down.
BTW...a quick story,....my computer was giving me h---. I was already to order a new one. I was deciding whether it was worth the price to pay a tech to come over and fix it or get a new one. Then the next day, I was cleaning the computer room and I just hit the on button and bingo...it just came on and acted normally. It has remained fine ever since. Wierd....totally wierd.....

Andrea Barnett Budin · 09-30-2008, 11:41 AM

When all seems lost (computer wise), my SIL tells me to -- REBOOT. Shut it down and restart it. Whatever was ailing the poor thing seems to vanish.

That works for us too. Like the Sabbath (an island in time) we can rejuvenate ourselves with a little rest. And prayer always help, of course.

So, Harriecanariebird, your positive Energy, tidying up, and having given yourSelf (and the puter) a reprieve seems to have to created a new reality! There's nothing weird about that.

Plus, maybe the puter heard, or sensed, your thoughts of doing away with it, and it wanted to prove to you that it wasn't dead yet. It's *Essence* was still alive.

Yes, Pink, I must remember that machines needn't be my undoing. I still have power to find a way we can get along. Midst utter exasperation that is most difficult to recall at the moment, but I will try to think of your wise words and assuage the issue. I can do this. I have faced breast cancer, as you and I always remind one another. That always serves to make me stronger.

Thanks, my Sisters. As for you Wild Bill, and your wild imaginings, you are entertaining to say the least. It is always good to laugh. Highly therapeutic. So I thank you too for your contribution(s)...

Andi

harrie · 10-01-2008, 12:20 AM

Andi, this may sound somewhat outlandish, but you obviously have a very strong spirit and you know how to keep it very ...hmmm, what word am I looking for....opposite of being surpressed. Anyways, your spirit must emit more energy out of your body then most people who are not as in touch with their inner selves. What I am leading up to is....maybe....the energy you give off somehow causes interference with the energy from computers. Told you this was an outlandish thought.

Andrea Barnett Budin · 10-02-2008, 01:44 PM

Maryanne, I think we ALL HAVE A mighty force within us! If we learn to align ourSelves with our Spirit, which is our Truest Self, we begin to send out signals on a very high, fast frequency wave. Others sense and respond to this. So does the Universe. And, I am beginning to see -- so do inanimate objects!

Just staying connected to your Higher Self keeps you at an electrifyingly awesome pitch. We just have to learn to switch channels and stop identifying with the voice inside our heads. We have to start seeing the world through the eyes of our Soul, which is who and what we truly are.

Your outlandish notion is quite on target, Harriecanariebird.

Andi

harrie · 10-02-2008, 11:28 PM

Andi, I also feel like our minds and emotions can also build up like an insullation around our Spirit. I think the intention is like a protection-insullation, but in reality it is more like an inhibitory factor which prevents one from appreciating the true beauty of life.
The "only" good thing about that insullation I guess is that at least it can prevent a energy flow conflict with the computer and other electical devices creating malfunction! Kinda like a surge surpressor! LOL!
