Hello everyone. The wind blew yesterday making the windows of our old home rattle. The temperature climbed into the upper 30s. Today it is forecasted to reach the mid 40s and tomorrow 60. The sky remains partly cloudy with the sun peeking through. Days like this have me day dreaming of Spring time, planting flowers and of planting a small vegtable garden.

Straight to Pink Clubhouse House keeping this morning:
We have been using DK4 for four days now. Things are starting to improve.
I'm no longer receiving messages that belong to other Groups and have been able to delete messages. One remaining bug concerning messages is that although I have deleted messages, the group page says there are 97 messages waiting.
A bigger bug is the difficulty in posting diaries.
This is what I have been experiencing: I start my draft and after preveiwing whether I attempt to edit or post I get this message:
Error: An unknown error occurred when contacting the server
In order to work on the diary further I have to find it in my drafts.
This is where I also have publish it from. How many of you are experiencing the same thing?
The Pink Clubhouse has a twitter hash tag: #PinkClubhouse
This is in addition to #jotterbugs. I use them in conjunction with #DailyKos and #DKos.
