QUESTION:
Hi Mark.
I installed News Break late last night as instructed i.e. putting the cab file on the storage card and then installing! I will put in my unlock code which I have later on today. However when I started the application, it asked me what news feeds I wanted. I only wanted the BBC news but found that I couldn’t uncheck the other ones. Is there anything I’m doing wrong? Also, if I want to add podcast feeds, how would I do it please?
Hope to hear from you soon and many thanks. (more…)

My Friend:
It is 3:37am and I am oh so very tired; that is why I am going to enumerate this reply to your voicemail message, OK?
1.
I received your text messages, in addition to your voicemail, earlier today but I was in the middle of posting a new article to my BLOG. Take a look at it, you may find it useful.
2.
Let me say that my plans have not changed. In fact, despite the way I feel about your atrocious behavior, it never occurred to me to not accompany you to your appointment, as I promised. When I give my word, I keep it. You should know me better than that by now.
3.
I am no longer angry just disgusted and very disappointed in you and your judgment, or lack there of. (more…)
Dear X:
This will be my only reply to this thread, where you are concerned, for I will not get into a flaming email exchange with you or anyone else, for that matter.
It seems to me that no matter what I contribute, you find a way to put a negative spin on my efforts. (more…)
