I just spent twenty minutes writing what was probably the funniest thing I've ever written. It was witty, bright, charming, and beautiful (essentially, everything I am). It touched on a variety of topics, all interesting and timely. It delved into the human soul and left it a little bit better place than it was before. It very nearly might have been the post to end all unhappiness in the world, and make the world a place where we can all truly buy the world a Coke. Or at least a Shasta.
However, Blogger gave me an error and it was lost. Forever.
So instead you get this.
Enjoy.

The World is a Little Worse Off Today

I've had that happen a couple times. I try to remember to highlight the post and hit <ctrl>-c before I post. That sticks the text on the clipboard. Then if it fails, you can do a <ctrl>-v and paste it back in the window. If you forget those codes, they're under the edit pulldown menu (copy & paste). I only do it for the really long posts or if I have to back out of a comment to recheck what was said.
Ah, yes, the dreaded Blogger conspiracy...
Damn Blogger. I had that happen to me a couple of times and that ended up being the reason I switched to Movable Type. I like it way better. And to think...someone could have bought me a Shasta if it wasn't for Blogger. Damn dirty Blogger!
http://wbloggar.com/download this program and give it a whirl, you'll probably like it. let's you create, edit, save, upload, and preview posts, all while not being on the blogger website. I only use blogger's editor for quick fixes when I'm too lazy to click the icon for the program.
Might I suggest the sweet sweet gyrations of the dancing pickle to pick your mood up!
I too, had that happen more than once. I simply do up my rants in notepad and save them on my PC. Then I cut and paste and add any appropriate formatting.
Many bogger utilities out there (as mentioned above) that I'm considering too.
To Paraphrase Tuesday's episode of "Committed":
Q: Why did the moth fly into the dentist's office?
A: The light was on.
I have to call foul on that joke...that was on Scrubs! (Could it have been on both?).
Also...for you non-midwesterners out there...Shashta is an off-brand pop. Kind of like Sam's from Walmart.
I haven't had a Shasta in years. In Carolinas we have the strange tastes of Cheerwine and Sundrop, not to be found elsewhere.
My roommate talks about Cheerwine all the time. He's from South Carolina.
