that does not include a "pre-written" PC blurb?

Is it possible to limit the content to only what I want to put in the message?

Thanks!
 
There is no email through PWS that's empty. Request it from Tech Support. The more requests they get for such a beast, the more likely they'll add one.
 
I heard on a training CD once that they didn't give us that option because they wanted to at least make sure that some of the info that went along with the PWS emails was HO approved.

Thanks Ladies! I will definately make a request that when I get a chance (see my mood!)

Ann, you're making me sad that you are feeling lonely :( Feel like a road trip to Ohio? :D
 
Thanks - gotta stay home to take care of the pets. DH is on a last-minute work trip this week.

My DH hasn't been on one in some time. I love the occasional break.:cool:

But then (and before anyone jumps on me) he also had a job where he was gone for weeks at a time and for months at a time with only weekends home. That was way too much. :yuck:

He'll be back soon Ann. Why not think up a good surprise for him upon his return? That'll pass the time a bit.
 
Usually, I'd relish it, but he was gone over the weekend, too. And when I'm home alone, it's hard to work up any enthusiasm to do (or cook) anything.
 
Oh, and back on subject:

If you want to send an email without the PC "blurb" then send it from your email server. That way you don't have to have their extra paragraphs that don't quite fit in there.
 
Ann & Beth - i can never see a mood indicator for you two!

Thanks Beth, I did just do that!

I'm hoping to squeak in a few outlet orders today for SAT (although I'm doubtful anyone will order $1200 worth of stuff!!) and my first 30 days (next week). My open house yesterday was a HUGE flop (I'm chuckling over it) and my sister's cat. show has not materialised. Sigh! I'm hoping for a huge show next week, which will get me to 8 shows in my 30 days (if I can round up enough orders to qualify my open house). My host is VERY motivated with the July special, and it is also a birthday party for her, so hopefully lots of people will come (I sent out 34 postcards and she had a bunch of email only people to invite too!).

I am very happy to have got the $1500 for SAT though, but I was secretly aiming for the $3k :)

Ann - I'm glad to see you're not lonely anymore, but now we don't know how you are feeling! Anyone else feel that there are almost too many options!?

I haven't used that feature yet. I wish we could change our mood with our posts because mood in one thread may be different than another but Greg said it's impossible. :cry:
 
I took mine down because I was getting too many comments on it.
