Herb’s Blog, Herbdate 22426 – 847:
Here’s the haps:
I accidentally hit the “Publish” button instead of the “Save Draft” button. This means a large number of you got to see the upcoming project I’m working on, A re-telling of the biblical story of Esther. Unfortunately, it was part 2 and it was not ready to go for a couple of reasons, one of them being that I wasn’t ready to publish any part and haven’t published part one yet.
I switched it back to “draft” mode but it showed up in the WP Reader and in the e-mail already. I’m sorry if I have confused you by this. If I haven’t then you probably know me well enough to go, “That Herb. Good thing they don’t have him carrying the ‘Nuclear Football’ or he’d set down his lunch and start WW III.”
Sometimes I shock myself with the smart stuff I say and do. Then there are times I try to get out of the car with my seatbelt on.

Good news, maybe. I cannot see it in my WP Reader. Hopefully that is the case for everyone. Thanks for the heads’s up!
lol. Thanks. I wasn’t ready to send it. Oh well.
Lol. Oh well, it happens. We are all excited to see Part 1 and Part 2 when you are ready.
Actually I couldn’t do the story justice in only two parts unless I made them really long so it will be a bit longer of a series.
Oh, got it. That will be even better.
🤣
I know, right?
Don’t worry, Herb. I get in the car and belt up before realizing I forget to bring the key.
Well, I have done that one before, too.
Due to technological advancements the nuclear football may soon be able to fit in a ping pong ball, which would be much easier to misplace.
Or make a mistake with! I read a book by a Lt. Col who carried it for President Clinton. That was scary. It was called Dereliction of Duty by Robert Patterson.
Scary.
Don’t worry Herb This just gives me another reason to laugh and I love to laugh so THANKS

Laugh Try it you’ll like it
Happy I could oblige! Keep laughing.

I accidentally published a post that really said nothing much – I was just testing something. A day later when I realized it had been published, I was surprised to find how many people had left comments…
lol. I’m glad I’m not the only one.
You are definitely not the only one to accidentally publish. I have done it several times and I HATE WHEN I DO THAT. Luckily you are probably more philosophical about it than I am. It tends to ruin my day!
I had a similar experience with one of my ex-wives, before she became one of my ex-wives (seems I am always in the market for the ‘future ex-mrs-marcom’ And the astute reader will recognize that I just stole that line from ‘Jurassic Park’ –Jeff Goldblum’s character)
Anyway, I was saying…
Oh yeah, my first ex. We were in Tel Aviv (I used to work in the Sinai for the U.S. State Department. You may have read some of ‘those’ posts: Sinai Field Mission.—SFM—Search for them on my blog if you’d like to ‘read more about it.’
Or not.
LOL
Damnit! I am gonna finish writing this ‘comment’ ‘even if it harelips the Pope’.
We were sitting at a sidewalk café on Dizengoff Street and I casually remarked,
“You know Janet, maybe we should get married some day.”
She took that to heart. (Or maybe she ‘heard’ me say “Sunday”)
Damn!
I wasn’t meaning ‘right now!’
Next day we were married.
(I had a problem back then with the whole concept of ‘Just say no’ when it came to women, and Nancy was still somewhere far off on the event-horizon at the time: ’79…and could not help.)
I guess you better make sure the next one can hear better, lol.
Well i was sad to see it went to a 404 error, but i will anxiously await it’s arrival (since i couldn’t remember reading part 1 and thought it was kinda odd to see 2). My favorite story I’m excited to read it.
You’ll have to tell me how I do on it.
I always enjoy Your writings.
Thank you! Welcome back. You are always welcome to comment.
Been there, done that, dragged my post back to draft. Then come the questions, I saw your post but now can’t find it, I was in the middle of commenting and the post disappeared. Every day is an adventure as a senior. Stay well Herb. Allan
lol. Yes sir.
Everyone I know who blogs has done that. It’s like a right of passage.
lol. It should be called a wrong of passage.
Hehee
Wow, love the duck picture. Did you shoot that picture or your son did that? Yes, I did that once or twice with the publishing button. Once or twice, i tried the private option, but only to realize later that the private posts can show up on the notification pile of others. LOL. WP has a way of making fun.
No, that’s just a meme I found on cleanmemes.com that I thought fit what I did pretty well. I never have tried the private post so that’s good information to have, thanks.
We’ve probably all been there. I know I have.
lol, thanks.
I can relate. (I’m feeling worried about Peter. He’s disappeared. I hope he’s okay.)
Thanks. I can’t recall Peter…
Of Peter’s Pondering. 😊
Oh. Sorry. Hmmm…He’s not one I follow regularly. As far as I can tell his latest post was 6/17 and nothing to indicate he was going anywhere. I didn’t see a “contact” page on his blog anywhere. Yes, I can see your concern.
He’s a great guy and I just hope he’s all right. He’s missed posting one of his Sunday song posts for two weeks now. He also hasn’t checked into my blog and he’s been pretty faithful.
I notice that he didn’t reply to your comment on his previous post, either. He has no contact page but maybe a blogger(s) that you both follow and/or comment regularly might have his email for some reason or other. I wish I could be more help.
Thanks, Herb. I might probe further. If I do, I’ll let you know.
