  More than a little crazy I found this book very hard to reread as an adult. If it were written today the author would surely be accused of using drugs as they wrote it. It's more than a bit schizophrenic. I posted this on 14 March 2010

Bugs - time sent wrong

Grammar Devotional hasn't had anything new in forever so that one doesn't count, but both of the other ones are doing this. I've checked to see what I have in settings and both show 7AM Mountain Time. In fact they've just arrived so that made me remember to come and check for replies.

Bugs - time sent wrong

I have my rss feed set to be sent at 7AM, but for the last week I've been getting it at 7PM. I prefer to read it in the morning, not at night. Any ideas of what's going on?

Bugs - receiving installments of finished books

For the last two or three days I have suddenly started receiving installments from books I've finished. I know for sure that I've received extra installments for "Little Women" and "Poems of Christina Rossetti". The installments were from the middle and ends of the books and they both show as finished in my manage what your reading list. Also they came at different times than I've ever had feeds set up for.
