E-mail

[naomikritzer]

E-mail messages I am sending appear to be being randomly eaten by gremlins. So if I sent you e-mail and you didn't get it, e-mail me and let me know. Thank you.






Yes, I am aware that if I sent you e-mail and you didn't get it, you probably didn't know that I sent it. That was a joke. But you see the bind I'm in.

You can send e-mail to everyone on your friends list, and we'd all know to check.

Or singing telegrams. I've never received a singing telegram. I think that'd be cool.

I don't know anyone who's ever received a singing telegram in real life. I've heard lots of funny stories that feature singing telegrams, and I saw one start to get delivered in a movie and then get shot dead right after she sang "I! Am! Your singing telegram!" But so far as I know, they're one of those things that exist only in jokes and movies, like the trios of priests, ministers, and rabbis who drink together with frayed knots and talking dogs.

The movie that you are thinking of is "Clue." As for singing telegrams, yes, people can send them in the Twin Cities. I have seen them at several different people's birthday parties. They had all turned 50. Apparently, when you turn 50, people think that is an auspicious time to give you a singing telegram.

And... Here is a local business that sells them. I have no guarantee how good they are, mind.

Hmm

I don't know if you sent me any e-mails, but hey... I'll happily volunteer to be a test subject for you, sweetie!

Hmm

Well, I sent you an e-mail in response to an e-mail you sent me a week or two back about doing a kaffeeklatsch or something with the Meet-Up group. Did you get my reply?

[naomikritzer]

(I sent you my reply right after getting your message, FWIW.)

[hilarymoonmurph.livejournal.com]

Nope, I did not get a reply. I figured that you were busy...

However... So long as we're talking...

Do you want to do a KaffeeKlatch? We would love to have you as a guest author. So far, I've scheduled Lyda Morehouse and Pamela Dean. I'm trying to negotiate a date with Neil Gaiman as well. He said yes, but finding dates when he is not already scheduled is challenging.

Hmm

Well, sheesh. The message I sent on 1/4 that was eaten by gremlins said:

Sure, that sounds really fun. My schedule is very open right now because Ed got laid off :-( so I'm free pretty much whenever. Once he's working again, I'm free evenings and weekends, except for second and fourth Thursdays when I have my critique group.

Let me know when you'd like me to come! I would love to do this!

Also, the message I sent to my own Gmail inbox days ago suddenly showed up this afternoon, after I sent a message to my ISP asking what was going on with my e-mail.

Did my January 4th message also show up?
