The first message is the impetus for this forum. While committing a demolition derby on the interactive forums at our old site, I started reading in the Candle Thread. It holds so much history that I decided to copy it. It has over 800 posts so it was much too lengthy to add here, but I wanted to let Pubsters know that I will gladly email a PDF of the whole thread to any Pubster who wants it. There will be 10 separate pdfs because the files are large and my computer was choking when they got too big, so I just made them into a series of pdfs (numbered for sequence). Allow ten days after your request…it will probably be sooner than that, but just in case life gets too busy, I’ll give myself that extra leeway. For those of you whose email addy I have, just put your request as a reply to this thread. For those whose address I do not have, please send your request to admin@wordflair.net
In addition, I’ll mention that anyone who wishes to leave a message here is welcome to do so. Just add it as a reply. It is fine to designate your message to a specific individual, but keep in mind this page is public.
If anybody is in contact with a Pub member who is not aware of this site, please let them know ot it.
If they wish an invite to be an author, all I need is their email addy. There are so many whose email
addresses I don’t have and thus could not notify them.
I was formally known as ely. I have missed you all and would love an invite. Being stupid about computer things I don’t know what to do or how to do it.
In the menu that shows just under the banner, the last item is “Contact”.
If you will send me a message using that, and include your email address
I will have wordpress send the invite. I will include my email in the message
so you can contact me with any questions. The only way to activate you as
an author of the blog (which is what we want to do) is through the invite.
Dee will be with us here in a couple of weeks. She’s been having eye problems.
Sarah, I would like to change my avatar. I have attempted to do that, but Gravatar won’t allow it. Can you help? Thanks. I love that old chestnut oak, but it is too dark..

Please forgive my late reply. Yesterday was one of the days for me.
I was so far behind I thought I was ahead. I note in the community
pictures, your new avatar is in place. Kudos.
Hopefully there will not be a lot of days like yesterday.
We all have them. Makes one grateful for days like today: reading a little Robert Pinsky on sounds in poetry; eating a new-to-me fruit called Aprium, a mix of plum and apricot; and making bread from Einkorn flour from wheat that has never been hybridized. ptc
Oh my goodness, even your comments catch my heart’s eye.
I’m having a homemade smoothie, nothing but fresh peaches
and crushed ice put into a single serving blender for 90 seconds.
I haven’t heard of Aprium, but I bet it would be delicious in a smoothie!
I wonder if anyone checks in here any longer? Well I’ll find out.
As I state in the information about me which appears under each post, I am a quadriplegic. I am grateful to God that I still have my eyes, my ears, my brain, and my voice. I use Dragon NaturallySpeaking voice recognition software to control my computer. It works very well, but occasionally slips in the wrong word and I sometimes don’t catch them all. So if you see a post with a word which seems out of place – it probably is.
I have mentioned elsewhere that I had cataract surgery on my eyes. They have healed nicely and my vision is much sharper, though still a little blurry from astigmatism. Today, however, I got a new pair of glasses for working on my computer. This takes much of the astigmatism blur out of my close-up vision. Maybe it will aid me in catching more of Dragon’ s little jokers!

Sarah, I think it may be working. The tree is gone, and I saw a note in Gravatar that said it may take an hour. I will check it out later. Thanks.
