need help with making a friend, beginer on a computer im told its the only way for isolated people to talk to someone, does any body know if there is a on line service to help people with problem solving on computers. like a help desk for people with learning difficulties. if some one actually replies it will be my first time, im isolated on a farm and go months without talking to a single person, yours in good faith. tony

Yes I love your humour @tonys and your post has, once again, put a smile on my face.
All the best with your antenna shopping! Otherwise, you probably don’t need a better antenna seeing your letters go where they are supposed to now 🤣
Beans in BBQ sauce sounds tempting. A campfire is even more tempting seeing it’s about 4 degrees here!

Awwww @tonys , I'm so sorry to hear of your tech issues!
After the error message popped up, were you able to press 'Post' again? Usually, the error message appears to tell you the computer brain is trying to fix up some computer code and will do it automatically. You then press 'post' again.
Otherwise:
1) Go to your profile
2) Then click on your draft post:
Hope that helps you find your letter @tonys !

would anybody in the office be able to help. tried sending a letter and it failed, it said something about invalid authentication. it did say on your page that it auto saved but im not smart enough to find how to retrieve it. i guess it was auto saved on the net or maybe your site, because i was logged in and replying using @BPDSurvivor . would love to know how to retrieve and resend it because it takes a long time for me to type, crooked fingers. grateful for any help. best wishes, tonys

@tyme when i clicked on pic of generic head i found a spot that said , posts... nothing that said, your posts, when i scrolled down it only showed 4 from the 10th of aug and said disgarded next to them, to the left of that was a spot that said posts for review and there were 2 zeros in there. the letter i lost finishes with the sentence... if you dont have a fire i hope the fire inside you keeps you warm. if that letter is there i would be so grateful if you could give it to him. its a mental health thing for me. when some one writes to me its a big thing for me that they know im grateful for there effort. yours in good faith. tonys.
