Last Minute Membership Renewal

Yikes! My stomach muscles spasmed and my heart beat fast when I finally reached the stage of "gotta make it go through." Relief is a wonderful emotion. Whew!


My Pay Pal account and banking services are going through some changes, and I'd tried several times in the past week to renew my membership here. I guess I like the adrenalin rush of waiting until the last minute, because whatever I do usually ends up not being completed until the last minute.

I'm too old to change my ways--so I'll continue to set myself up in these anxiety producing situations. I don't recommend anybody else imitating my ways. It worked out okay, but I could have lost my entire portfolio.

Since joining the site in March of 2002, I've spent six years creating here at Writing.com. Things aren't backed up either. There's a new computer in my future, and I've got serious back up plans. A good scare is worthwhile personal motivation.

Most everything I've written is online here, and there are lots of scattered copies and drafts, but had I lost my account a large percentage of my writing history would have vanished. I have 415 items in my port as of today. That would have been a lot to lose! It's all much more than numerous series of connected words!

Thank you God, Writing.com, and those inestimable Internet spirits that seem to haunt many of my web transactions. And Amen to 2008 membership renewal--at least for the next six months!
