Who knew?
Well, I would like to thank my faux cowboy friend from Texas, now transplanted to Tennessee (Jon) - for his comment and perseverance in tough times. Back spasms can be terribly debilitating, especially when you have work that needs to be done. Get well soon, Jon . . .
My comments have finally "appeared" on a follower's journal and I haven't done a darn thing to my settings. Is there an unexplained phenomenon here on Blogger, or did updating my own journal seem to "kick-start" the nit-picky dashboard here on Blogger. *sigh*
Over here in Canada, we have received notice that if we are only using our AOL mail address for web-based services, we now have to sign in to our mail accounts at least every 3 months - or (horror of all horrors) --we lose our account. Now, I often dabble in poetry and photography and have linked some of my other blogs with this main one, but others I have not. I think AOL is finally catching up to all of my different email names that I used to create and practise some new things that I learned in my old web-designing classes from years back. I wonder what will happen to this blogger account that I have my aol name linked with. I really don't want to create a blogger email adress, as I am turning 60 this summer and my memory for passwords is slowly diminishing. Yeah, getting cranky goes along with the territory of growing older.
I also notice that different websites have taken over fellow journal writers, or their blogs have become "private" and "off limits" to me, or the famous line "this blog no longer exists". WTF?? This must be a sign of the times. A few readers have developed a crush on Facebook and spend most of their time over there, sharing selfies and snippets of their life that some need a decoder to translate, LOL.
Moi? I usually have the gift of the gab and almost always write too much on my blog - so I won't be going anywhere, anytime soon. Just remember - I will be here reading fellow writers when I can. (and commenting, if the blog-demons let me). I know my Mom won't be around fore-ever, so I am trying to create as many memories and photographing them for the next generation to cherish.
Oh yeah, our furnace quit on us on Valentine's Day (of all the luck) - just try getting a repairman out on a week-end, let alone the one day slated for hearts of devotion. We were told that it will need $700 of repairs in the summer to replace a motor that is "grinding", and were billed $400 for the service call and cleaning maintenance (2 days later), when it was convenient for the guy. Most of the places we called did not even bother to return our messages. We installed a brand new furnace only 14 years ago. Don't things last, anymore? (currently grumbling to myself)
grrrrrrrrrrr . . .

I'm glad you're able to comment on my blog again. Strange things always seem to happen on Blogger and AOL.AOL seems to be getting worse. I always have trouble with my email.
I remember when my furnace stopped working in Texas. It was one of the coldest winters on record and the repair man couldn't come out for over a week. If I didn't have the fireplace I think I would have froze to death.
I was looking at the bloggers on your sidebar "followers" list. Dana Bates passed away. I haven't heard from Ally (in England) for about two years. Raven is still around but almost never blogs anymore. It's sad how bloggers often pass like ships in the night.
That's why I value or friendship. We've known each other for a long time.
