I give up.

I just wrote a lengthy post about how I almost hit a man in the jaw last night. It was near the end of a successful gig at the Clayton Club. Will I be paid for last night's and tonight's 4-hour gigs? I don't know. But the post disappeared before it was posted. So I give up. Ask me about it if you want to hear the story. I am not in jail or anything like that.

I lose posts unce in a while. It frustrates me completely. What I usually do is to write a small post later on, only to assert that I am still alive

That's pretty much what I did in this case.

That’s some heavy drinking if that guy’s jaw got in the way of your fender! Or was it a Fender you nearly hit him with?

@TheHorse -- I understand. That's why H&B makes baseball bats.

My bass is an Ibanez. But I wouldn't want to scratch it--I like the instrument.

Why don't you write a song about it? Might be a hit! (No pun intended)

Just keep in mind that actually hitting someone is a good way to break your hand. There are more effective ways to take out an opponent.

@TheHorse - One hard blow to the side of the head with either end should do it. A raging concussion, and no dent! Wait, you didn't read that here!

@Janet357 I don't think admin deleted it. He hadn't finished posting it yet when it disappeared. It would have been a technical thing.

It was just the band leader (the one who sometimes doesn't pay). Do I describe what happened now? Or wait? I just got home from a gig with another band and am exhausted.

You still do not type the discussions and save first, the only way to be sure not to lose anything.

@TheHorse It takes no more time than typing directly in the discussion box and you can even proofread before posting.

Sorry, you lost the post. You all look so cool in that photo like the band on the run. Hope you have a great gig tonight. I will put in my two cents. You don't have to save everything like I do if you don't want to but if you write your posts up on Word and save then it cannot disappear at least I think so and you just copy and paste on here but that is just me.

Oh, sorry that you have to loose your post. It happens to me many many times with post and comments. I know how it will be annoying. As many folks here suggests, I wish I could use any editor, so that our copy of our work is saved. I'm also sorry for the other incident that you'd reported. If you can share what really happened? Have a nice day! Just chill..

I don't think a day goes by that I don't want to hit someone in the jaw. But I exercise extreme self-control, and only envision it in my head. I like my freedom and don't think I would do well in prison! haha
