It's empty in here. Where did everyone go? Why does everyone always ditch me all the time. This is, like, my life story.
I just now realized I might have the power to repair contributors.
So, like everything else I searched internet how to do that.
It told me go to settings and click blog authors. As usual there isn't any such thing as described. Wait, there it is within basics, lower down. Mine shows only two.
It looks like I can add them. To do that I need to enter your email address into the box, per the instructions I read online.
Please email me something. An empty email, a tenderhearted message of affection, fan mail from some flounder, well wishes, a ransom note, a threat, a picture of a kitty, anything will do. Then I'll use your email sending address from that to enter into the box. Does this sound like a good plan?

You'll know it worked when your name appears on your front page.
Also, on the front page mine shows only two.
I don't know what happened. It's possible you pissed off Lem royally. It could happen, you know. It's the quiet ones you have to watch out for, they lash out. You should try being a little nicer, innt. Quit taking a knee all the time all over the place. Straighten up a little bit. Tuck your shirt in, pull your pants up. Shine your shoes once in awhile fer Christ's sake, comb your hair, sit up straight and stop being so sloven. Quit swearing all the time, it's low class. Wait, was that another LSD flashback or something? Wow. Someone needs a doctor.
I meant to say maybe it was an accident of some sort.
Power to the people.

It's lonely at the top.
I want 3 volunteers - you, you, and you.
Of course, Pharaoh would just tell Im Ho Tep (or whomever) to call up the next 100,000 or so on the draft list.
I have a feeling you may have to tie Troop to the stirrup of one of your cavalrymen.

I thought I typed in your email address correctly, having broken that code like a code talking Rosetta stone readin' guy. But it didn't work.
boure Comcast com, with appropriate punctuation and nothing else, right?
In Ancient Evenings that's exactly how Norman Mailer writes the pharaoh had his army gather up a new crop of warriors.
He describes the annual flood in a way I've never seen described so excellently. Imagined, but it must be close to the truth. In the delta life retreats to hilltops. Mounds sprinkled all around. Houses built upon mounds, little patches of mud and stinking rotting water everywhere else. The army swoops in and grabs young able-bodied boys and tears off with them leaving the families bereft and in need of those same able bodies to do the needed work of their little plot. They all have quotas to meet, after all. And no excuses are acceptable. They'll be beaten if they do not produce.
But that was one of the few ways a young man had for upward mobility. But only if they proved themselves extraordinary. If they did something outstanding they could be recruited into the officers corps. But that put them amidst an entirely different class of people who spoke Egyptian entirely differently and exclusively. Just like this Brooks fellow said using his made up restaurant anecdote where the lady with "only" a high school education was intimidated by the names for food. High faulted names for ordinary things like bologna and stale bread. Norman Maile wrote exactly how it feels like being excluded by language. Everybody laughing in all the wrong places. Having fun at your expense using the same language with different meanings for words. Different puns that are incomprehensible to you. Still, it was upward mobility. And only because he stuck out in a chariot race with a pharaoh. And there again, if his chariot was damaged in the hazardous race it would take years to pay for it, like smashing a Porsche, whereas it would mean nothing at all to the pharaoh. And that's how this character moved upward in his first incarnation.
I did mention that when I was in the British museum back in the mid 1990s I did in fact touch the Rosetta stone, right? They have since moved it, an one cannot get near it, but back then I was bold, bold I'm tellin' ya.
Sixty, I think he meant boure@comcast.com.
And Chip's description of what getting an army together was like sounds like what I've seen on some of the History channels.
PS You're right about wrecking a chariot. They were the high tech of their day. Different empires used different designs to maximize speed, maneuverability, offensive capability, even number of crew.
I think ICE got everyone. See subsequent post.
Did you test that address, Ed?
Yes, and I got a fail notice.
The at sign (@) and comcast.com are correct in form, but I wonder if Chip might not have mistyped the user name.
It may also be his ISP's gateway blew up.
We'll have to wait until he pulls up this post.
The old address from one of the blogs several years ago was slightly different. It involved the same front name and provider with a dot net in place of a ".com". Wondering if that might be the way to go or something different is needed?
Touching the Rosetta stone has me impressed.
I walk around the the top stories of the Leaning tower of Pisa in the 60's with no guard rails that I can recall, and the only thing doing that empowered was fear.
