I'm on another site that I write on and was over there... I just got done writing a 360+ word post, added the tags, and was setting a featured picture. Was having problems getting the picture to show up, then went to publish it and an ERROR message showed up about something "timed out!" Oh, man!! I forgot to copy it!! So, I had to rewrite it!! Oh I hate that when that happens!!!! Have you ever lost a piece of writing and wished you would have saved it? ~Peace~ photo courtesy of https://pixabay.com/en/anger-angry-bad-burn-dangerous-18658/

Yea, that has happened in hee for sure. Most of the time when that happens, though, I am ready to post it. Just as I am ready to post it, all of a sudden, I hit something on my laptop, that takes me completley out of the discussion, which mans, when I get back to the discussion, I have to do type it all over again. That sure sucks when it happens, and it happens everty so often. I guess my fingers start wondering around, and poof, it is gone.

@STOUTjodee I think my fingers just go so fast, that they end up doing things that they shouldn't like deete my post or end up taking me out of the site completly.

It is maddening to type a piece especially a long one taking time and it doesn't stick and you have to do it again. It's happened to me at this site.

I learned my lesson in that respect a long time ago and never take chances these days. I always compose a post in Microsoft Word then copy and paste it into the site.

I use to copy it, but then I got out of the habit of doing it!!

@STOUTjodee This is why I write in Microsoft Word, which makes it impossible to forget to copy it.

Oh a time or six it has happened. Then I have to sit and ponder if it is truly worth my time trying to rewrite it.
