Thank you to The StoryMistress  and The Milkman for their patience and helpfullness with my editorials during my time of "off-lineness." Thank you to those who have been so patient, waiting for your comedy items to be featured (as I said they would). I'm hoping that I caught everyone in this week's picks, and if I didn't, feel free to email me and tell me so, as I've been away for quite some time. But now I'm back online, this time at my home, so no more not having access to my favorite addiction, Writing.Com!
When I was blocked for the second time from accessing W.Com at work, I was angry (although I half-expected it). It was rough going cold turkey. I have a job that has long periods of down time and then shorter spurts of super busy time. During the down time, I would hang out here most of the day, playing on scroll, reviewing, journalling, and sometimes even writing (imagine that!). So when I saw the all too familiar black and white page saying, "Warning! You have attempted to access a page that is in violation of City Policy #blah blah blah and such and such," my heart sank.
At first it was the mental anguish. Thoughts raced through my head. What can I do to get back online? I'll have to get my home computer fixed! Will they ever unblock the site again? How will I submit my newsletters? How will I judge my comedy contest? How will I keep the other obligations? How will I talk to my friends? How will I SURVIVE????" I ended up with a headache. Of course, that could have also been from the lack of caffeine that day as well. Popping some Tylenol, I continued with the mental anguish until I got the shakes. I had to have a W.Com fix. My legs were bouncing up and down in my chair. My fingers were fidgeting at the keyboard, desperately needing to type something. I was on edge. I was cranky. No one mess with me today! They took my Writing.Com! I think others sensed my nervousness. Some backed away slowly, while others tried desperately to find work for me to do to keep my mind occupied. I hardly slept that night from tossing and turning and missing my friends. I dreamt of coming to work and finding the website unblocked and being filled with joy and laughter, frolicking in the fields of Scroll. My dream did not come true, and I would have to endure months without.
Three computers, a power supply, hub, and hard drive later, I'm back! Oh, it feels so good. Being gone for so long, I've got a lot of comments to address, so I will do so now. But boy do I have some stories to tell you, and look forward to sharing them with you in the future editorials!

  Questions & Comments
Nikola~Thankful Library Lady  Writes:
Don't ya love country music?  A lot of those songwriters have a grand sense of humor.
I'm learning to like it a bit more. I do really enjoy the humorous songs! Of course, I'm a sucker for a good love song as well.

HEY!!! That's ME!! LOL Too cool! Thank you so much for including me in your newsletter as one of the 'Editor Picks'.
I am enjoying my time here at Writing.com and these newsletters are great. They tell me things I need to know AND point me to great stories, etc to read! (the best of both worlds, don't ya know??!)
Thank you again for making me an 'Editor Pick'. I count that as quite an honour.
You are welcome! Thank The Milkman for the picks!

Hey Sherri:
I don't like country music either, but it sure dun have the funny lyrics! Kinda like Irish drinking songs..
I know what you mean about those Irish drinking songs. They can only truly be appreciated if you are drinking yourself! Not drinking yourself, but...you know what I mean!
Red Writing Hood <3  Writes:
I love that bit by Abbott and Costello. I bought some A&C dvd's at Walmart so that I could share their silliness with my kids.
robi4711 Writes:
NOthing like Abbott and Costello, my favorite comedians
Brians Next Novel Almost Done!  Writes:
The Who's On First routine is hysterical! Thanks for listing some of it in your NL!
I think we concure we like Abbott and Costello!
Lexi Writes:
Nice work on the newsletter. Rainman was on TBS this weekend and when I read your editoral I thought maybe you had seen it too. 
Many great comedies use cofusion to get things rolling! A few of my favorite movies do that, such as Chasing Amy and Love Actually.
What did you say? I'm confused. 
andrew Writes:
There is nothing funny about good comedy, it can be very dangerous if you are drinking something.
*spews milk out of nose* That is a very good point. Perhaps the dangers of comedy can be discussed in a future editorial! 
Vivian  Writes:
Sherri, I enjoy your newsletter. I just wish I had the gift for comedy, but, although I include some humor at times, I don't seem to be able to write comedy. My one foray into trying since I've been here was booed and hissed at by readers. *sigh* You make it seem easy.
My first attempts at comedy I can't even discuss! Even now it is a struggle most times. I think for some it comes naturally, while others like us have to work at it a bit more. My suggestion: experiement with styles and keep trying!
angelofpeace Writes:
what is this this is stupid
This is the Comedy Newsletter. I'm sorry you didn't enjoy that particular editorial. We have other editors though, and perhaps one of their styles would be better suited to your liking. Thanks for reading!
