I had an extremely well crafted post written
it was smooth and succinct, and reminiscent of the spare-winch post. It involved an axe handle to the nads and a garden rake in my face. Now my lip and mouth and left nut are swollen and painful and i am not going to retype the post. I may go to bed.

oh my… of course bed!
I hate when that happens – which is all too often. A finger taps some key inadvertently and, poof, everything’s gone.
What I’d like to know is why the hell did Bill Gates have to put such keys on the keyboard? What possible good are they?
Sorry to hear about this. But did you LERN anything for this exercise.

Yaaaeeeeoooowwwwww!!!!!!!!!
Oh wow man! He stuck it in his eye!”
Sorry, channeling Cheech and Chong!
Actually, I think your stand-in did rather well at that.

You just reminded me why I avoid any chore around the house more complicated than taking out the trash. Particularly those involving either a ladder or power tools.
It’s always your best works that gets flushed unexpectedly. An ax handle to the nuts can be a distraction.
Hemingway’s wife, Hadley, left a suitcase full of his manuscripts at the train station in Paris, and it was then stolen. I think he wrote about it in A Moveable Feast, which I don’t have handy, or I’d plug in a spirit-lifting quote.
Here’s an account of what happened:

Except for the occasional quick snap, I’ve been writing my posts, so as long as I don’t lose the notebook, or marry someone who will leave it on a train, I’m ok.
Ever think of creating a file called “draft” in notebook, then typing and saving as you go, so if the power went out, or you pressed a key, or got the Blue Screen of Death, at least you got most of it saved?
Hemingway dumped her ass for that, too. Then again, he sent a bint to do a man’s job.
On the other hand, the part about the nads and the rake? I don’t get it.
Be thankful you didn’t get it. My lip is still swollen
