I wrote this great post last night about being 'lost' in Rome.

It was fairly long, but funny.
Took me a lot of time.
Lots of rewrite and editing.
And then when I tried to "Post my thread!" the page load just wound and wound and wound and finally timed out and I lost the whole damned thing.
Shit.
I hate it when that happens.
Should I write the whole thing again?

application you use, then when it is completed to your satisfaction, copy and paste it. It is painful to lose something you've created.

Sorry.

I second what Sekhmets Daughter said.

I'm really sorry what happened.

My husband and I will be going to Rome the end of June, and I want to read about your adventure!

and I third, or fourth, or whatever, that Sekhmets Daughter said. If it's going to be a long post, especially an OP, write it in a saveable form first,
