New Blogger

Oh I see the new blogger caught up with me. Well lets see how it goes. Well l didn't get far and it already stinks. I guess you can nolonger post a header of your choosing just this ugly nothing.

The freezer showed up yesterday after I sent a tracker note to Amazon on Friday evening wondering where my freezer was since the arrival date had already passed and no change has taken place for over a week. I recieved a note by Sat. stating deliver would be Sunday. So yes it showed yesterday and today my grandson showed up to set it up for me. And he did a few other things that needing taking care of. I fed him a good breakfast and sent him home with some food and other things he needed for his appt. 

This afternoon we finally  had a storm blow in and right out but did get lots of rain for about 20 min. It cooled it down to about 87 which was just wonderful.

Tonight my daughter stopped by to pick up her Pastina and to bring me a gift she bought me while on vacation. 2 great bars of soap and a camping kitchen towel. We had dinner and sat and caught up on life issues, mostly car stuff ,her job and the crazy things going on in this town. She has decided to hold off on doing Door Dash for awhile because of all the unrest and crazy people running around the streets lately. I'm glad she is going with her gut feelings on this. It was just a side job to have extra spending money so why risk something happening. She doesn't need the money to pay bills since she has a full time job that covers her expenses.
  

So it was a good day with visits and shared meals

Good Night All

  1. So I was able to go back to the old but it won't last so I did my new header to enjoy for awhile. since you can nolonger add a header picture of your choosing. Why would they make blogging so unintersting and unapealing?

  2. I am so glad you touched on this subject JO. I have been avoiding the New Blogger like the plague it just seems too difficult for me. I had no idea you could no longer add a header pic of your choosing!

    They have changed everything so people can better blog from their cellphones. I think that is so unfair for those of us that prefer to use our PCs for blogging.

    Did they force you into the change?

    You are so lucky to have a family to help you out with chores.

    Glad you were able to enjoy a good rain shower but better yet that it brought your temperatures down.

  3. Hi MsBelinda,

    I went in to put in this new post and the new blogger thing was there. I tried to get a header and no way was that going to happen. They have a button to push to go back to this one but it all ends on Aug. 26 and then this wonderful easy to use one is gone forever. So yes it will be a forced change. It's so ugly and bland and I don't even know about added photos into a post. So many people are complaining but I guess they really don't care and I may just stop blogging because they took the reason for it away. Being able to post pictures of my travels when I do start again and to talk about my trip to have a memory.

    I don't want to use my cell phone I can barely figure out what I need to make the phone work for it's intended purpose. And it is so hard to read anything because its to small.

    Yes my grandson is a treasure to me. I hate to ask him for help as he works graveyard and come straight here and now that he moved to the other side of town it's quite a drive. Plus he will start home schooling his 2 children in a couple of weeks. Which means he will have to pick them up from the mother in the morning and bring them back around 2pm so he can sleep for a couple of hours to go back to work.
    He wants to find another job so he can work days then spend the evenings with the kids.

    Nice to have time to visit with family.
    Be Safe and Enjoy the AC.

  5. I do NOT like the new blogger...Many things I don't like but one thing is when you click on a blog to read it, it does't just go there it goes to a redirect page...I have not tried to write a post while using it yet...It was not hard to read a blog post on the phone, and I can't imagine trying to create a blog post with my phone...that would take forever..Glad you got your freezer do you like it?

  6. Hi Rick and Kathy,

    This old blogger will be gone by Aug 26 2020.
    Yes have visits was a wonderful thing.

    Hi Sondra,
    Like I said I may just stop blogging and I'm sure lots of others will do the same. They certainly don't seem to care about that much. Yes I like the little freezer. Now I can go back to cooking more foods to freeze. And keep a good supple on had so I don't have to do so many online orders until this crappy virus goes away. Our numbers of new cases are going down but then you just know they will jump the gun and start opeing up more places and drop the must wear mask order then it will be on the climb again.

  7. Don't stop blogging. I do my blog on the computer not the phone. And I can put pictures in but I'm not techie enuf to do anything other than put them in the middle of the blog. I never change my header picture so thats not an issue for me. But it does get easier as you use it. Not easy just easier.

  8. Hi Sandie,

    I have never used my phone for blogging and don't intend to either. Just not convenient to me. How long have you been using it I really didn't notice a change the last time you posted so maybe it isn't to bad if I didn't notice a change. I'll go check on your last blog again. Thanks for the encouragement Sandie.

  9. No JO, you can not stop blogging!

    I do not know why they would want to change a good thing or fix something that has not been broken :-(

  10. Hi MsBelinda,
    I don't understand why they had to make such crumby changes. So many bloggers use it like a journal of there trips or just lifes happenings.

    Before I pull the plug on it I will see how it goes.

  11. I think the younger users love things to constantly change, and they are the ones the developers want to please. We are mostly mature, long time users, and are undervalued by most program developers, who will be glad to see the last of us.

  12. Hi Gypsy,

    I'm sure your right. But soon all these kids will use YouTube and not be bothered with a blogging program. These companies just don't think about the whole picture.

  15. I'm glad you finally got your freezer. I assumed you put a pan of water in it immediately after plugging in. Was it frozen solid the next morning. My neice used to fill water bottles 1/2 full, then freeze. When she went hiking, she just took a bottle and filled with tap water. The ice would last for several hours.
