EUREKA! I am a now a New Author on Extra Criticum!

After Rolando was so kind as to invite me to be amongst you fine authors that are a part of Extra Criticum, I was having the most difficult of times 'accepting his invitation'.  Over and over again typepad let me know that they have never heard of me re: my email name and password.  I tried different name combinations with slightly different passwords, as I change it up depending on the account.  Pet name plus age, different pet name plus a different number - sometimes an age, sometimes a birthdate.  Sometimes I would use only a current pet name sans number. Back in the day I would use my 1st dead pet's name no number added, then I switched to my second dead pet name, etc.  In recent years I have tried to 'keep it simple' and use the same, most current pet name and a number combo of which I will not let on here.  However, I still use two different number combos on bill payments thus my confusion when I tried what felt like a kazillion different pet/number combos to get access to Extra Criticum dishearteningly to no avail.
