You see, I, of course, asked the waitron how many birthdays they had a night. She rolled her eyes and sighing, said (see above). – about 9 hours ago from web

“Everyone says they have a birthday because they all think they get a free cheesecake but they don’t. They just get a sundae.” Waitron. – about 9 hours ago from web

Home now but pretend I’m at the Cheesecake Factory and texting that waitrons are regaling a 9th table with Happy Birthday (I am incognito). – about 9 hours ago from web

Third time in two weeks H.o.p. has brought up “Don Giovanni”. Time to wonder what the best DVD production is. – about 13 hours ago from web

The shoes are gone. Marty came home with boots for me for my birthday! Cobbler elves rejoice in some peculiar equilibrium sustained. – about 13 hours ago from TwitterFox

“Sitting here turning to fuckin’ jello with Looneytunes 24 hours a day.” Overheard on Marty’s cell. Musicians discuss relaxing during lull. – about 13 hours ago from TwitterFox

“I was killed 100 times in a row and I’m still at the same level. I’m getting real bored with this.” Karmaking (Or So Sayeth H.o.p.) – about 16 hours ago from TwitterFox

Drag Queen size dye-me square toe pumps sitting beside the apartment trash for two days, forlorn and ignored by tran hookers. – about 17 hours ago from TwitterFox

I give up on TwitterTools but I’m leaving it activated just in case it spontaneously decides to work sometime in the future.

Having now given up on Twittertools, I’ve placed a Twitterbadge in the sidebar above the search window and tweets can be seen there.

This toy has, so far, only frustrated me.

We are not entertained.

    It’s a social networking thing where via Twitter you make brief (no more than 140 character) comments/updates which can be delivered to a group of contacts/friends, for instance, via cell phone. I just wanted to try it for archiving comments for the blog, such as if I was away from the computer or didn’t want to do a regular post. But the Twitter/Wordpress integration tool is doing funky things with my blog, keeps failing to communicate with Twitter and I never know what or when it will publish.

    Both of the Twitter posts state they were (auto) posted at 11:59 p.m. that day but neither was actually auto posted until much later than that and neither gave the full tweets of either the preceding 24 hours before the actual time of publishing or the announced time of publishing. Annoying.
