A Computer Fights An Old Senior

Oh Vey, the gremlins got me on the computer

This software on the Towson Patch is hurting my feelings Every time I write something for it, a new program they put in sends me a note that I am rejected by their robot (?). We all have been rejected at one time or another by the opposite sex when we were young and in turn we did the same thing to them. Sometimes a computer will reject one's credit card when they are buying something at the store due to a wrong number, a wrong name or perhaps you have gone over your limit. Other times we try on a piece of clothing, especially women and the material rejects our body. Well, we think to our self, we will not try to buy this brand again especially when we have just lost five pounds and it should fit us. Sometimes we go to a new restaurant and our tummies reject the spiced food and we think that never again will we patronize this place when we need Tums immediately. Sometimes we start a new job and the boss is obnoxious to us and we think, way to go Mr. Boss, someday you will be rejected by your new employer. But to have a piece of machinery called a computer to reject you is really mean and ugly. You think, who in there is rejecting me, I do not even know them and especially when I am a writer of worth, of interest and kindness. They try to get me going again because this 'rejection' is not being rejected by me and it has been going on for almost a week and I am getting angry with it and surely Towson Patch will solve the problem by calling Perry Mason, This story is old, it is from June 30 2013 and I hope Towson Patch will not feel rejected by me. So I shall put in a call, text, email and write a letter to Perry and maybe he can come quickly so the rejection stops hurting my senior feelings. Perry is gone now off of television and passed on. His partner may be taking over the lawyer/detective business and probably never heard of me. So I got a report on a cat scan I got and it was missing lots of reports on some of my innermost parts in my senior body. I called the radiology place and they had two more doctors reread it and they added an addendum showing it was reread by the doctors and everything missing on the first report was good and perhaps they should have said that on the first report so old senior Elita did not worry all weekend. Now I am putting an addendum to this story. Perry Mason is gone now for many decades, his story on television and his life on earth. So far Fairfax Station computer gremlins have not rejected me ever in these 270 articles I have written for them and for that I am grateful because the total now of all the Patches I have articles on is one thousand stories. So here is to computer gremlins or maybe they are computer angels. Thank you computer angels, you are my special angels and hopefully, you will not respond by kidding around with me and stop on the 1001 story just to teach me a lesson. Oh Vey. It means oh my this is happening to me and I know it will not again, I am writing for Fairfax Station and they seem to have feelings that are kind, good and have respect for old senior and they will not let gremlins/angels attack an old lady. elita sohmer clayman Fairfax Station Patch
