WRITING

I have some writings I'd like to post which I think people would enjoy but whenever I cut and paste it comes out all garbled with extra letters that I didn't put there.
It especailly screws up poetry or anything typed in an order. Can anyone tell me how to avoid this? Ed

Ed here's what I do:

Paiste your writings on a fresh email. Then change the format to Rich Text or Plain Text. This will convert 'everything' on the page to R.T or P.T. Next copy paiste to the V.C. thread.

Edbro,.there's several ways to dopy them,..you can scan them,and save it to your documents,.then when you can post them here in a msg,.just like adding a photo to the msg, or you can scan to email,.then email it to the VerdunConnections email address )you would have to be 'signed into the site' of course or you should be able to copy  directly from Microsoft Word.... In any case I hope you figure that out,.cause I suspect your writng would be very interesting,.if your Poem from Remembrance Day is any indication,...that was great...................Good luck               HF&RV

Thanks Les and Bill. I'll try it. Not sure why you called me Dopy Les but you're probably right. Ha Ha            Did you think I'd pass an opening like that.           CATS   Some times I wonder about my own life. An old friend of mine went under the knife. She said, "Feed my cats and give them a life. They are sister and brother and husband and wife.   She said, "I might die if there isn't a cure. I asked the Doctor and he isn't sure. At my age old Heaven has a very strong lure. I ask you to see that my cats will endure."   Another old lady so gentle and dear. Passed on to Heaven at the end of last year. Why she dropped dead she never made clear But she left me her cat and I've got it right here.   Poor George died and left me his orange mammal. It attacks like Attilla or avenging Hannibal. His manners are worse than a Borneo cannibal He thinks he's human and I'm just an animal.   Some people die and leave an estate Money and autos, or condos and flats. When my friend are finally listed as late All I inherit is a bunch of used cats.  Ed

Ed love your poem, but in my case, it's "used" dogs I inherit....so I totally can relate to your poem.

Yes Mom, You must have boys. I remember when I was young. A boy's duties were to do messages: fill the coal scuttle/ sift the ashes/ put out garbage and bring home stray dogs. Girls opf course washed dishes; set the table and squealed on everything the boys did.      Ed
