Grrr! I was writing a post about a delicious dish I created for dinner tonight, and, through an inadvertant mouse click, I navigated away from my edit entry page. When I clicked 'back' I returned to an empty text box, and no amount of cajoling (read swearing) would bring my words back. Now I'm just too damn mad to rewrite what I had, so you all miss out on my yummy stir fried zucchini recipe. Unless I cool down enough, and the muse retakes my soul (gak).
:p

If it's any consolation, when I read the title I read it in the Mortal Kombat video game voice. So, from that perspective, it's still sort of a cool post.

Autosave is nice. I wish AOL would get it. It's saved my biscuits on Blogger more than once.
I suppose one thing you could do is write the entry in WordPad and cut and paste if you plan on this sort of self-destruction in the future.
By the way, that's happened to me more than once where my mind just shuts down and I watch the little pointer heading toward clicking on something, and even though my mind is screaming at me to stop, it inevitably ends in a frustrating "click."
It's like riding a bike on the side of the road where you wind up with that weird sort of road-side paralysis as you watch your wheel slowly drift toward the gravel shoulder, and all you can do is lean uselessly rather than just turn the handlebars a couple of degrees (or am I the only one that happens to?)

Kiss the twinkle toes of your personal leanan sidhe, or maybe even a blood sacrifice....then try again.
It couldn't hurt (gak)

With me on a stupid dial-up connection and AOL like it is, I almost always write in an email and then paste into my journal. Saves lots of tears and helps me not to swear! I do hope you'll get up the courage to share that recipe. - Barbara
Or we may have been saved from a culnary horror. A stir fry mess never been seen before or will again. An assualt on our taste buds that has no equal. A green glutinous blob that would send us running to the ends of the earth to save us from the great 'through-up'...
LOL!!

also: 'through-up?'
I plead tirdness. Throw-up.

;p
Bummer.
The first time that happened to me I was writing an essay the night before it was due (grade 10). There was a thunderstorm outside and I didn't bother to save my essay in the span of a couple hours. I was writing the conclusion when the screen on my Apple //c and everything went dark. Duoh!
Since then this has only happen about 126 times. Auto-save (when it is available) can be your best friend.
LOL.... dang I hate when that happens... looks like you did try again though!
be well,
Dawn
