Cathy,

Sometimes those delays come back and really get you. Late January I had sent out a family newsletter filling people in on all of the happenings of my family. For some reason it never posted, but I thought nothing of it. The day of my grandson's death the letter showed up to everyone's computer...even my daughter's. It was quite eery and needless to say awkward. I'd much rather have the instantaneous messages.
