Family Follies Saturday, Nov. 18, 2006 - 2:48 a.m. Well. There's a strange thing happening over on my MySpace page. Some guy I have never heard of has left a comment on my MySpace blog, apparently in need of assistance in a financial transaction regarding my brother. I am leaving his bad spelling and punctuation intact. Curtis: Since I don't know what the sam hill this guy is talking about, and the silly bugger never even introduced himself, I responded to his comment thusly: Me: Then a little later when I was chatting with Jamie, I told him what was afoot. He went and contributed to the comment thread as only he could. Jamie: And I answered: Me: And finally, Old Buddy Dave weighed in:
1) This should have been done in private e-mail, not in the public forum. What if the Jon Landerman you're referring to is NOT related to this person? 2) A polite "hello" would have helped. 3) A bit more info - in private, of course - would also be nice. "I am such-and-such, I know Jon Landerman due to thus-and-so, my problem with him is this-and-that, can you help?" 4) "Please" and "thank you" are universally considered Good Things To Say. If you think I'm talking to you like you're a child...well, you acted like one. Fair's fair. Be seeing you. So, we shall eventually figure this out, I guess. In the meantime, if you have anything to add over there, be my friend. :-) As for what on earth my brother has done this time? I don't know and I don't want to know. He's stepped in Something Somewhere, and I'll just let him ooze his own way out. He usually does, so I'm not worried. --- Ruth Brown passed away. Once in a while there is a character actor who makes a role, and she was one of those who did. She was Motormouth Maybelle in the original Hairspray. Rest in peace, darlin'. --- Okay, That's it. Happy Saturday, kids ---
