Thank You, For Reading This

Could you help me, P Souper, please, I think my computer has a disease, Some of my poems have disappeared, And my soup mail Which seems weird. I feel this state of affairs, It enables me to make others aware That I have not laid down my pen And I have not died, Amen. Also, info that was supposed to stay Has suddenly been whisked away From my list on soup mail Deb M, who is my pal Has disappeared into thin air I can't find her anywhere She will be wondering where I've gone I've sent her mail a mile long That she will not be able to read A very sorry state indeed The computer is no longer my friend I feel this is the bitter end So, please, without further ado I would appreciate some help from you Perhaps you have also experienced this Asking you for advice is not amiss. Thank You

Thank you so much for your help DD I don't know how I did that but I am not surprised it was my fault. Going senile. Take care, DD Very, Old duck. lol!

These things are easy done with touch screens. Hope you're sorted.

Debs also thinks you've likely blocked her in error Shirley. If you go to your own area (the tab next to submit poems) then within the list you get you'll see blocked poets. I presume you can unblock if you click there. Good luck

There must be some hacker around.

I hope not, Victor. Perhaps I have touched something that put a spanner in the works. I'll keep you posted. I hope you are having a peaceful weekend. Kind Regards, Shirley

I often don't get notified of comments or replies for days, then they work for a bit then stop again. My introduction on the forum disappeared (but I assumed someone deleted it for some reason). There may be some tech issues at play. There's a slim possibility you've blocked Deb without realises - might be worth checking in that list. Good luck! I'll download my poems just in case then!

Thank you, Dilly Dally, I always think I'm to blame as my knowledge of the computer is minimal. I can get other peoples comments but as far as I know it's only Deb's I can't. but the fact that all my most recent mail hs been deleted and other peoples mail from as long as two years ago are still there. I appreciate your comment and help, Take care, Shirley

Perhaps it's a glitch on your computer's end, Shirley. I don't have any trouble accessing Deb M. I'm no techie, so I don't have any good advice. ~ Mr. 'Big Help'

Thank you, for answering, Gershon I think you're right. Deb wrote me a mail and I wrote back and it said sent. then I noticed all mail that I wrote 2 years ago was still on the list and all new mail was gone as is all Deb's messages to me. I don't know how to let Deb know about this Glitch as I don't want her to think that I can't be bothered to answer her. I am not at all computer literate. Mrs Nobrain! Kind Regards, Shirley
