Confidential to Anonymous

Darling, no one else is reading this page any more -- I had all but forgotten it myself until I was pointed to your odd counterpart -- and scarcely anyone can be reading that little litany of spleen either. Perhaps you could try writing and publishing a fast-paced, engaging work of pulp fiction.

Regarding your thoughtful note, you forget, once again, that we do not "out" people on this blog, or rag on them by name. But do be assured that everyone has a life and has been quite enjoying it, doing interesting, varied things, except for poor dears who are spending their recreational time trolling their own blogs. One thinks of von Neumann's Catastrophe of the Infinite Regress.

Miss Jane has said what she has to say on this matter and will read no more mail on the subject. Recess bell! Everyone go play, darlings! Share the monkey bars and don't shove!

Alms for the Poor

I had about considered this blog closed, but my dears, how amusing the morning mail has been! Someone who rather appreciated having a walk-on portrayal in one of my little efforts shared this site with me, since not only does it mention Yours Truly in a couple of posts, but gracious, the site owner needs help desperately.

Yupette, darling – what ever are you wearing in that profile photo? You must have had a dreadful night. Was there a keg party or some similar activity favored by the twentysomething set? I cannot fathom why you let yourself be photographed looking like that.


But fortunately, Miss Jane has a small line in grooming folk for public appearances -- and being generous, she will offer a helping hand. Yupette is free to lift this little graphic, devised by Miss Jane with the accommodating Yahoo tool, and use it as her profile photo until she is feeling quite the thing, and can do her hair for the photographer. I think it captures the feel of Yupette's quaint little site.

Right click, darling, left click on “Save As,” and pop it into the helpful little My Pictures file on your computer. Then you can upload it to your blog. I am not sure if Blogger will let you cut and paste an image: Miss Jane has never tried.

There – no one has ever said that Miss Jane shirked aiding the needy.
