By the time this gets posted on Monday morning I’ll be on my way back home to my kids and my gorgeous man up in BC.  Gavin mentioned in one of his emails that if I wanted to stay until Wednesday so I could make it to the Art in the Park Tuesday night thingy going on here in Healdsburg he’d be down with that.  Awwww!  That made me want to come home even faster so I could give him a huge kiss for being so understanding!  Wait…did he just play the reverse psychology card on me?   Whatever!  It worked and I can’t wait to see him!

I got an ugly surprise this morning when I checked my email.  Whenever someone new starts to follow me on Twitter I get a notification and then I usually click on their profile to see who it is that finds what I have to say, in 144 characters or less, worth reading.  What met me today was a rude pornographic crotch shot of an unfortunate young woman who’s probably never been told she has other options and not to sell herself short.  This isn’t the first time it’s happened, either.

I quickly tried to ‘block’ this person from following me in order to get the photo off my followers list (you follow?)  Twitter wouldn’t let me do that!  Some kind of glitch in the system they were experiencing, it seems.  I also tried to go into the privacy settings and check the box that only allows people I accept to follow my tweets, much like how Facebook works.  I don’t think that feature was working the way it should have been, either!  I checked and checked and rechecked that box but each time I went back in to see if it worked I had to do the whole thing over again.  Stupid!

I may have no option but to delete my Twitter account altogether if I can’t get this settled.  I really don’t want to go that far because I know I’ll miss the daily recipes from Rhuarhi that are sent my way, or the Jane Austen quotes that make me smile when I remember what character uttered those words and why.  And the one-liners the kids come up wth are far more informative than they probably think : )

Why do weirdos have to ruin everything for the rest of us?
