Why do alerts only appear on Sundays?

This morning, I received 3 alerts:

Do "alerts" in General Discussion only show up on Sundays, or is someone trying to:

a. make me look bad by missing the voting deadline: "Ohhh... Om can submit a photo, but he's too snobbish to vote for anyone. Jerk..."
b. make me miss the deadline for submitting my most awesome of prize winning photos

?

Re-reading Catch-22 usually helps make sense of situations such as this.

Do you watch the archive as well? The threads got moved, you might have gotten an alert for that action (and one a week ago when the threads got started). Yes it says "started" although it got moved.

Don't worry, you won the waterfront vote by the most one-sided voting result I have seen so far.

My Armenian co-worker told me one day, that I should read Heller's "Something Happened".
I'm assuming that at that moment, we both connected with "Catch-22".
Unfortunately, I didn't start reading it until after I had retired, and had to stop reading it, as it brought back too many bad memories.

Ummm...

I guess I am.

Ok then. That explains it.

ps. Have I ever mentioned my hatred for people from Germany?

That's why I'm so upset!

pps. It was much prettier in person. All I'd ever heard about the place was; "eeeew! the water is such a pretty blue!"
pffft! The variations of color in the rocks had me wishing I'd been a geologist my entire life.

ppps. Also, my sister-in-law married some Americanized guy born in Frankfurt, and she taught me some sign language a few years ago; "B4".
So, in the future, if I've asked these types of questions, before, just give me a sign. I will understand.

I tried, but I don't know sign language, sorry.
