Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Thanks tommy but it wouldn't work. I just tried logging into that particular account from another computer - no dice. And I can get into my other couple of gmail accounts from this computer - no problem.

Oh, I didn't realize it was just one gmail account you were having problems with. That sucks.

And you've already tried POP....

I thought I saw somewhere there's an experimental thingie (I think for linux) that allows you to mount your google email account as a file system....

eta: google 'gmail filesystem' - there's something for Windows too....

eta²: my thinking is that maybe there's a bad/corrupt piece of mail that's screwing up that account.

Eh, sent it from my yahoo account. If he asks about the alternate accounts, I get to explain I'm resourceful.

Have a good weekend all.

ETA: and thanks for the suggestions Tommy. I'll try some of them on Saturday night if it doesn't fix itself.

Clearly you've never attended White Trash Night with me back at the ranch.

Where is this ranch? Archangel? Cause I don't actually believe this "Michigan" story anymore.

You don't believe in Michigan?

I don't believe that she lives there.

Actually, my Archangel theory is looking good. Icebound, economically not-so-great, depressing... I'm just not sure if they get WWF.

Where is this ranch?

Well, it's not so much a "ranch" as it is a "house". Hell, I don't even think it's a ranch-style house. Did my creative license expire, or something? Sheesh.

And I hope Michigan still exists, because I'm supposed to drink beer there later.

Going back a ways:

ita, you might want to work up a scraped cheek or something, just for the effect.

I could so totally help with this, if you do not wish to actually just scrape your cheek.

Ginger: I'm wrapping presents. This is the way it goes: Pick up present. Pull paper up around box. Look for scissors. Scissors have disappeared. Look under various piles for scissors. Go get more scissors. Pull paper around box. Cut paper. Now the tape has disappeared. It is apparently in cahoots with the scissors. Sit down. Find tape because the cutting edge is digging into my leg. Start taping package. Run out of tape. Get up to get more tape in the office. While in the office, check the internet. Forget why I'm in the office. Go back to the package. Realize I need tape. Come back to office and look for tape. Find tape and head back to package. Realize that it's time to put the clothes in the dryer. Go back to package. Go back to dryer and find tape. Finish taping package. Look for labels. Discover they've rolled under the chair. Get on hands and knees to retrieve labels. Put label on package and pick up package. Discover that the scissors were under the package.

Pick up present...

I need a sanity check from someone with more mainstream fashion sense than me.

Is wearing one of those pink & brown shrunken tweed jackets (that ties shut with a limp satin ribbon bow) with a pair of those ‘dirty wash’ jeans (dark blue denim with pale tan ‘scuff marks’ on the butt & backs of the thighs) that are rolled up to show pale tan calf-high, stiletto-heeled boots really in fashion? I cannot fathom looking at that in the mirror and thinking it was attractive, but I do understand my definition of ‘pretty clothes’ are … different from the rest of the world.

If I only had a brain...

Just because it's in fashion doesn't make it forgivable.
