Having it. Any Comments I might’ve wanted to make on my daily reads … thrown down the gurgler by WP.
Sorry, #Content Catnip. Sorry, #exacticablog. Sorry, the two or three others of you. Why do I have to be logged in to make a comment? Why isn’t that stated before I start typing? All my words, disappeared into the ether again.
Not that my words are of an earth-shattering quality that must be saved at all costs! Not at all. It’s the loss of a possibility to communicate that I regret.
An unproductive day represented by a stripped shrub.
There’s so much gate-keeping happening everywhere. I’m blaming that on the lessening of good online communications. I suppose it’s a good thing for face-to-face socializations. We’ll have to go back to them out of sheer frustration.
Called my Night and Day Pharmacy to repeat a couple of scripts, to be ready for the drought during the public holidays. They called me back, said they couldn’t repeat e-scripts only paper ones. Huh? Why not? Didn’t have any problem before? I called the Doctor’s surgery. Can’t get an appointment to iron the problem out till next week. Cutting it very fine again. I have 20 days supply remaining … gets me to the New Years long weekend. Nerve wracking.
But, I will say, a kind receptionist said she would call the pharmacy to see what was what. She’ll be calling me back. And she did, and she fixed the problem. I will take Reception@HealthCarePlus a bunch of flowers tomorrow. They are wonderful!
“Take the flowers on Monday,” my sister said. “They can enjoy them all week then.”
Will do.
I’m trying to sew/embroider the tiger’s face. I need something like ‘button yarn’ for the whiskers. Button Yarn? Usually I use ordinary sewing yarn doubled for sewing on buttons. I’ve never heard of Button Yarn. The ears are too big and they still have to be stuffed. I may need to re-open the neck seam and stuff the face more.
Tiger, looking kind of dumb without ears or eyes and with hanging threads.
Bleh … that reminds me of Linus.

I totally understand your frustration with the WordPress comment issues—it’s so disheartening when your thoughts vanish into thin air like that! But I’m really glad to hear that the receptionist came through and solved your medication issue. It’s the little acts of kindness that can make such a difference, especially on days when things feel a bit off. As for the tiger project, it sounds like you’re tackling it with patience and persistence—don’t worry, I’m sure it will come together beautifully! Keep going, and I hope you have a smoother day ahead.

The times I’ve considering quitting the blog have come because WP is so “clunky”, as I like to call it.

Yeah it is clunky, but what are the alternatives? Substack? I had a go with them, continually having to ask your readers for money. Blogger? I had a blog there for many years. Gave it up for Google+ which got killed just when it was good. MeWe? Never took to it. Came back to WP. Probably WP needs to be reinvented from the ground up. Too many add ons as it stands

That sounds familiar. I’ve read some Substack and NEVER felt the need to pay for more. Plus, I’ve used WP as a de facto newsletter. Not sure what you think but I don’t feel like I need to put a newsletter out- at least not yet.

I toyed with that idea a few years ago, putting out a newsletter. Now find that idea almost historic when all my posts just by a setting can be sent as emails. Like, I don’t really need a newsletter if I do a good job with blog posts.

Well said. I always hear that an indie author “owns their email list”, but I don’t’ see much difference in that and blog subscribers.
