Oh my, what a hot summer we have this year. Instead of working we should be swimming with Knuti and his friends. Luckily we have always ice cold Knutsteiners waiting for us in our Knuipe.


I guess we are all very excited to see how Giovanna and Yoghi will get along in their new home. Herr Knut has already started to make plans for his future without Giovanna. You can read about it here:

Ich habe dir keine Vorwürfe gemacht, Du bis halt leider mein Ansprechpartner.
Wir haben alle viel um die Ohren - zur Zeit lösche ich die Benachrichtigungen
manuell, und werde auch bei mir keine Änderungen vornehmen, da mein PC
endlich mal optimal läuft nach viel Ärger in der letzten Zeit. Wir werden das
Problem weiter beobachten.....

Wünsche Allen eine gute Nacht, morgen ist erstmal Wochenende
Sleep well and have sweet dreams ( flying polar bears and pink cats)

Mervi - there is nothing more you could do or could have done. The struggle with KWM in the last weeks was more than enough and now everything has turned to perfect and you have paid for it with almost all your holiday and your money. Now one has to wait until the host of Knutitours reacts on your complaints.
All your efforts are gratefully appreciated. Do not worry, sleep well.

crissi - man soll sicherheitshalber nicht alle eingehenden Junks löschen, aber Du kannst notifications@web.... als Absender sperren und automatisch löschen lassen. Ich habe Dir dazu eine email geschickt.

I do wish you ALL a good night and sweet dreams.

Eva and Knuti-Judi - enjoy your day

Crissi - As I told you earlier I can't solve the problem myself but I have notified webs. I can't understand why changing the notification preferences doesn't work with you - my emails stopped immediately. Did you have these emails even before you got the new email adress or did they start coming after that? I know it's annoying and you have better things to do than deleting unwanted emails but believe me - I have lot of things to do,too. My job, my family, trying to run two websites.....I have struggled with several technical problems during the last few weeks and most of them are solved now. I'm sure this will be solved, too.

HALLO to ALLE!!!
I hope I was not too stern with advice to Miss Gussie of Chelsea. My advise was with a lot of love and a touch of humor. Sometimes, as a Rottweiler, I may appear to be stern when I really am NOT! I truly am an "old Softie!"
Guten Ahbend to Alle,

Eine kurze Info über neue Beiträge ist absolut o.k.
Aber nicht sämtliche Dialoge aus dem Forum, die ich jeden Abend rauslöschen
muß (und aufpassen, dass nicht dazwischen was Wichtiges übersehen wird).

Knutilda
Hab ich doch längst alles gemacht - hilft nix.
Mein PC Checker war heute hier und auch ratlos.
Ich fragte ihn, ob ich das nicht bei mir blocken könne, er riet mir ab, weil dann
u.U. auch andere Sachen, die für mich wichtig sind, verschwinden.
Klare Ansage: Der Fehler liegt beim Anbieter und muß auch dort behoben werden.

Ausserdem verbitte ich mir, hier in die Ecke des Störenfrieds oder Spielverderbers
gestellt zu werden - ich habe mir durch dies Forum ein Problem eingehandelt,
dass ich im Moment nicht lösen kann, welches aber sehr LÄSTIG ist.
Dann muß Mervi sich eben bei ihrem Provider beschweren, ich kann es nicht machen.
Ich kann nur mein Problem schildern - ich hab nämlich neben dem Bloggen noch
andere Dinge zu tun (Job,Familie,Tiere)

@notifications@web.....
maybe I like them because they show in my address which is solely for the 'bear traffic'. Whenever I have read the real posts I just delete the notification thus I know what / who is new without tracking back the start of the messages I haven't read before. I find that very convenient.
Herr Waiter, please help us to a good drink. Thank you!

Hallo Crissi, ich habe Dich angeschrieben. Das Phänomen hört von selber irgendwann auf, ist bei mir auch nicht anders. Die Einträge werden dann an Deine Mail-Addy geleitet. Ich schaue mal, ob man das ausschalten kann. Es geht, geh mal auf Dein Profil. Edit Profil anklicken. Dann kommt man zu einer Austellung von vier verschiedenen Positionen. Da ist ein Feld, was die Notifications angeht. Stell es einfach auf never, dann ist es erledigt. Das betrifft alle Positionen innerhalb des Notifications Feldes.

LG Knutilda

Entschuldigung, ich kann nix hinter den Kulissen regeln. Ich habe mir das Problem
hier eingehandelt und werde es auch hier erörtern, zumal ich von niemandem die
e-mail adresse habe. Nur dieses Forum hat Meine....wenn Ludmila mich anspricht,
werde ich ihr auch hier antworten.

Bärgit
Ich brauch doch nicht die ganzen Gespräche hier in meinem Postkasten.
Lesen kann ich im Forum, denn da schau ich sowieso jeden Tag rein.
Eine Info über neueröffnete Threads in anderen Blogs ist ja hilfreich,
aber da bekomme ich doch auch nicht die ganzen Wortbeiträge der Gäste in
meine Post - ich bin wirklich ratlos und finde es müßte vom Anbieter behoben
werden. Ich mache ja nicht Mervi verantwortlich dafür - sie ist aber nun mal als
Blog Chefin meine Ansprechpartnerin.

Hätte ich das vorher gewußt, hätte ich weiter mit meiner alten, ungültigen Adresse
gepostet - ich bin wirklich nicht glücklich damit.

Ludmila - Uwe is as good as bernd. They know how to care for the essentials before they are going to starve while we are occupied with the bears.
I read your email but do have a few questions, I think I'll phone you when you are back from the Marathon in this issue if you don't mind.
Planned BBQs ARE indeed difficult.

Patricia - Thanks for crossing your fingers, also the weatherforcast was better than reality. But one has to take it as it is, it doesn't help complaining. We have all survived it and the food was good.
You were surprised, but YOU ARE No 1 !!!! Congrats

Miss Gussie of Chelsea - I do have undertanding for your problems but also for your Mum being worried about her carpet. Just be good again to each other.

Bärgit - we seem to have had the same BBQ experience. You love notification mails, well I think it is a matter of taste. I do not see them anymore because they automatically are classified junks and deleted automatically when arriving.

Mervi - is it far away to reach KWM? :D From here it is just a click far away :D

Good evening friends!
Wolfgang von Rotweiler
I am very impressed about your rationality. You and yout mother are very clever dogs.

Miss Gussie of Chelsea
Minka, Muffin and Ferdi have sympathy for you.

Caren
It is always difficult with the weather and BBQ.
Thank you for the welcome. I hope I will manage with editing too.
Uwe does not ask the question about meals sinca I have to look the pictures of Knut and many other bears. He prepairs the meals himself.
I send you a mail today.
Mervi
It was a good evening for our women. Let us drink something cold.

Dear Caren how sad to read that the weather was not so good. And I have been crossing my fingers ALL day for you. And yes, as I wrote in April for one of the titles to my pics: Knuti is serious on that: GIOVANNA FOREVER BACK TO MUNICH. This dikke taart is eating his food!!!! By the way, believe it or not, I am surprised to be the Number One.

What an evening for the German women in Barcelona! Gold in 100 meters, Gold and Silver in javelin!! Herr Ober is totally exhausted after cheering the ladies and asked me very kindly - but firmly - to open the cupboard where Eva's food is. Who am I to refuse a growing bear a little snack.... or two....or maybe three....

Caren - I'm running to check KWM!

Mervi - Knuti's Focus is living. Alex sent her contribution which is now in the new column in German and English.#
Now I will relax and I must read Annemarie's report next.
What a sad story about Quan Quan.

Greetings to you all

Caren - You must be exhausted after a long working day and the BBQ after that. I hope the rest of the evening will be time for relaxation for you.

Wolfgand von Rottweiler - You are a very wise dog and I'm sure Miss Gussie is reading your comment very thoroughly and even - now that she has calmed down - act according to your advice. My best greetings to Mutter Eva and Mama Jabber, too.

MISS GUSSIE of CHELSEA: Greetings! It is I, Wolfgang von Rottweiler. Perhaps a word or two regarding your "situation." When you decide to "do your nails" you might want to pick a spot that is NOT in the middle of the carpet where your Mutter can immediately find it. Mama J and I would suggest finding a spot behind a chair or even better, under a sofa. By the time your Mutter finds it, she will not know who really did it. Also, you must be careful and be sure she is not within hearing or vision of your act of beauty. Mama J suggests that you might want to go to the new beauty shop that is now run by one of our Polar Bear ladies. They have a full service salon. (that's what Mama J says)
Don't hate your Mutter and certainly DO NOT run away. It is a cruel, lonely world out there. Do I remember you were rescued from being alone??? You see, my Rottweiler Mutter, Mama J, was rescued from a horrible place, nearly starving to death. So, little Lady, stick your chin out, lift your head up and put on the very best act of fancy purring and walk up to your Mutter as though nothing has happened. By now, she has probably forgiven you because she loves you very dearly. Yes, Mutters are like that, yes they are! So, dear girl, go put on a show for your Mutter. But . . . remember, you have learned a very valuable lesson . . . DO NOT scratch on the carpet. I bet your Mutter gets you something to scratch on and if you already have something, she will encourage you to use it.
Very Best Wishes,
Your Pal,
Woofie
P.S. Remember, I may be a Rottweiler, but I love kitties!!!

Good Evening, Dear Alle!

Our Barbecue was inside (I mean eating) the BBQ itself under a tent. WE had a good meal, but for a summer festival it was very cold, wet and miserable weather. We made the very best out of it.
I haven't read all the posts, but I have looked at the links. The pictures are all adorable. Giovanna is beautiful - but she has her own mind and a very strong will. The story of Giovanna in Berlin will end soon and not with disadvantage for either of the bears.
For quite some time I had the impression that Knuti has already printed a sign "Giovanna forever in Munich".
It does not seem that Knuti will miss her and I am happy about the fact that most probably there won't be any sad Knuti left behind in Berlin, which would definitely also break our hearts.

Ludmila - welcome in KWM's author circle. I am very happy you agreed. I wish you a lot of fun editing and I am looking forward to your reports and pics.
I do remember well my first article, Mervi is a perfect tutor, I was so nervous. It lasted nearly the whole Sunday getting my article ready and when bernd asked in the late afternoon "WHAT WILL WE BE EATING TODAY?" I only said " Do not talk to me, this is the most thrilling task I've ever done!" When everything was ready and it came to inserting the little pic I forgot to reduce the size appropriately and KWM's page was torn into pieces. I was quickly able to fix that but my heartfrequency was uncountable at that very moment.
Whenever you'll need support, I love to help you anytime.

Mervi - Thank you very much, you again made a great job on KWM with the new columns and the new page.
I am very glad that you feel better and can stay at home for the rest of this week.

Now I am going to read KWM's latest news and all the posts of today. I will return later.

Hallo und Guten Abend,

How is everyone?

Mervi - I hope you're much better with Dr. Raspi's Mervilan forte.
Yes, indeed, I am a devoted flofe - the word FloFee looks a bit better, since 'Fee' in German means 'fairy'. In English however, 'fee' means 'charge' / small sum of money'. I'm sometimes charged (like Caren) and even in charge of lots of things but I never charge any money for it.

Dumba - FloRaMania would be one of the words I guess for Knutitis.

Caren and whoever is on a BBQ today: Hope the weather will be ok and Herr Ober will be very pleased when doing his QC.
The BBQ season seems getting to its peak. Yesterday I wasn't so lucky - we had to party indoors, with the grills working outdoors covered by a tent. My, did it get hot there, with 5 fireplaces sizzling the food at the same time. Even Herr Ober said he'd like the dorades, steaks and lamb chops 'en nature' because he felt pity for the guys in charge of the grills.

Crissi - don't get too upset about this problem. Are you talking about the notifications on your e-mail box? I like this function a lot since it informs me on incoming news. That's a super function. Man kann das doch selbst steuern. Aber vielleicht meinst du etwas anderes.

Who would like to join me for something refreshing, an engergy-drink like a gold Knutsteiner or a lovely rosé from FloRa's new home the Provence?

Bitte nimm's mir nicht übel, wenn ich mich zu Deinen Klagen kurz zu Wort melde.
Darf ich vorschlagen, dass wir diese technischen Dinge hinter den Kulissen regeln.
Kurze Meldungen, wenn etwas nicht stimmt/ zu stimmen scheint, sind ja OK. Das macht auch jeder mal und wenn er/sie gerade nervös ist auch etwas nachdrücklicher. Dein Insistieren wirkt aber langsam so, als ob Du Mervi anklagen würdest. Ich bin sicher, dass Du das nicht so meinst!


Dir und allen einen schönen Abend.
