Hi,

You're not the only one who had problems... I was using quite an ancient email subscription system...

I've decided to "modernize" it... Hopefully, this will solve any issues!

Please go to the following web page, and subscribe again...

http://www.sowpub.com/entrhotsheet.shtml

You will get an email after you subscribe, asking you to "confirm" your subscription...

(The old system will still be there. For those who are subscribed through the old system and want to unsubscribe, they can unsubscribe from this page - http://www.sowpub.com/entrhotsheet2.shtml )

Best wishes!

Dien

...within the next 24 hours!

Best wishes,

I must have received an email from your old list, Dien.

And almost clicked the "Spam" button, but something told me to open it!

Good to hear from you again and I hope you increase your distribution schedule for the Hotsheet. Once every five years is a bit too long...

Take care,
Tom

Thanks Tom,

I'm glad your senses told you to open it!

Things are re-building here... There are a LOT of people in the background. We've had the most views we've had in a long time... But hey, that's the problem of forums. It's kind of like, nobody wants to be the first on the dance floor...

Best wishes,

Dien

LOL - Dien - the best dances/events I've been to in a long time feature Scottish Country Dance Bands or Ceilidh Bands ... two seconds and the dance floor's full

Hate discos.

Hi Margaret,

Those dances sound like fun!

As for discos... I always hated those too!

I have a particularly excruciating memory of a high school disco moment...

I was at an eighth grade dance. It was getting near the end of the night... And Karen, a girl I liked, was dancing.

I wanted to dance with Karen, even though she barely knew I existed... Yet, time was running out. The night would soon be over!

Finally, it was the last dance of the night. The last chance to dance with Karen. Maybe she would notice me!

I just had to overcome my shyness!

The last song they played was... "The Time Warp" - from the "Rocky Horror Picture Show" movie.

I've never watched the movie, but the "Time Warp" dance has specific moves...

So, as the song started, I tried to dance near to Karen. I tried to copy all the moves everyone else was making!

It didn't matter how silly and stupid I might feel (and look)...!

Karen didn't really seem to notice me... Or seemed to turn to face another direction!

But, I still tried. Still copying everyone else's moves... Looking less like a John Travolta, and more like an inflatable wind dancer...



Well, the song was over. I failed to achieve my goal of getting Karen's attention...

Then, I looked up.

There was my father, standing, waiting to pick me up, and watching me!

I felt so embarrassed... Dancing (like an idiot, I thought), in front of my father who I had so much respect for...

I hoped he didn't think I looked too much like an idiot!

Well... Let's say, discos were never my thing!

Best wishes,

Dien

P.S. I never did get Karen's attention. The next year, she transferred to another school. I hope my "Time Warp" dance didn't have something to do with it...

P.P.S. Here's some video help, for anyone who wants to dance the "Time Warp"!

I'll assume it was really good. I still haven't received it.

Here's one -

and this one's much less formal.

That should get some feet tapping!

Hi Sinewave,

The Entrepreneur's Hotsheet issue may have made it to your "spam" folder, possibly (unfortunately)... So one thing you could do is check to see if it is there...

Please email me your email address (you can reach me at [email protected] )... That way I can at least make sure you're on the list of subscribers...

Best wishes,

Dien
