an open letter to my Uncle Bob


Dear Uncle Bob,

I like your blog.
I'm interested in your take on the various topics you address, and I think that profile picture of you from the 70's is cool. You had a lot of hair back then. I hope you fully appreciated it while you had it.

I really like that list on the left hand side of your blog's page that shows all the blogs you follow and the titles of their most recent entries. I know those people and I'm interested in their lives. I don't know how you got that on there but it's good and I appreciate it.

I like it when you post pictures of your grandkids. They're cuties.

When I click on your blog to see what's going on in your realm of existence, your royaume d'existence, your page opens up in a new window. I don't know if I configured it that way, or if Blogger did, but it's usually fine. It's convenient actually because then I don't have to backtrack my way back to my homepage when I'm finished. I just close that window.

But sometimes, Uncle Bob, when your blog opens up in a new window, it keeps opening, and opening, and opening. I can't make it stop continuously opening window after window after window. Maybe it would keep opening new windows into infinity? I don't know. Clicking the red X box to close the windows doesn't work, and trying to close it from the Start bar doesn't work either. I have to completely shut down my whole computer to make it stop.

When this happens I find it to be:
  • Annoying

  • Aggravating

  • Frustrating.

I don't know why it happens. I don't know how to make it stop. Do you?


Sincerely,


Your ever-faithful and sometimes-frustrated niece,


AmyWW (AmyDubDub)

  1. Amy,

    Your computer experience, relative to my Blog, is unique. I've never heard anyone else mention a problem like that. I've heard (heard, not experienced) that porno sights keep opening and opening and you can't get rid of them. Maybe my Blog is somehow pornography.

    How do you get to my Blog? Do you have it saved as a Bookmark? Do you have a link that gets you there? Maybe it has something to do with how you get to my Blog?

    Has anyone else experienced this phenomenon?

    Oh, and thanks for the kind comments.

  3. Bob, sometimes it has happened when I've clicked on the link from my own blog list, sometimes when I've clicked on the link from my mom's blog list. Maybe it's the links? It's weird. And it's a hassle.

  4. Amy, go to the Dashboard of your site. You can post a picture of yourself (please) and also set up blogs you are following and who is following yours--lots of other stuff, too.

    BTW, I love both your blogs.
