Yes, Mercury Certainly Is Retrograde –

Sunday, January 10th, 2016 -( I began this @ 8:58 am in Atlantic Canada — where it still seemed to be -4˚C / +25˚F — but now grey and damp and chilly out there beyond my windows )-

fupped up invitations
— “Interesting -: Don’t-cha think?

— I sent invitations to two blogging buddies. The wrong people got those invitations.

— At Least — That’s the way it looks now.

John Lennon Peace Tower
This is a photo of the “Peace Tower” — Yoko Ono’s tribute to John Lennon. Long may it shine.

— You wouldn’t believe what I had to go through to upload the Peace Tower photo above. Pages bled into one another. The buttons went invisible. I managed to click where I thought the invisible “Insert into Blog” button was and everything cleared up – but then I went to type this here paragraph in and blew up firefox. Ka boom. It is now 9:23 am.

— And, like I said above, Mercury sure as bleep IS Retrograde. But I now have two more authors/contributors that I know and trust signed in and ready to rock and roll.

— So things are not all bad –, even if the weird set  backs and browser crashes have kept me trying to get this done for, duh? two hours? it is now about eleven minutes after eleven am. okay with you if I lean back and scream?

Do not believe they have an improved posting scheme.
Just don’t even think about believing the above message – The part that says, “Switch to the improved posting experience.” ??? That will in no way contribute to any kind of happy experience,

I just had a hell of a time signing back in here –

Sunday, January 10th, 2016 6:49 am -( -4˚C / +25˚F — Dark, damp & overcast in Atlantic Canada )-

— Schnarr!

— Okay, Mercury IS retrograde.

— I reluctantly set this blog up about 5 hours ago and had some trouble getting a twitter timeline widget to work.

— I could not sign out of a different account on twitter and sign into the correct one, so I tried to sign in on another computer that was connected to the correct twitter account.

— The insanely “bleeped-up” thing would not take the password I had created those 5 hours earlier. I had to tell it to help me reset the stupid password.

— Sigh.

— Next, I bet I will have all kinds of fun and games adding new users to this stupid blog.

— For another thing, their ‘spiffy new interface’- which is supposed to be more ‘user friendly’ SUCKS!

— Schnarr & 1/2 ! –,

All I need is another blog –

January 10, 2016 –

— Okay – so there I was, minding my own business, going along with the stupid message one of the blogs I manage for a couple less-tech-savvy friends when the blogs begin telling me there’s a brand new security update that I absolutely need to install before the whole freakin universe imploads and kills millions of innocent children and their unconditionally loving pets – So, silly me, I go ahead and do that – some of the updates go smoothly, run without a hiccup, almost completely automatically – and then some need a couple tries and a couple need manual updates. This takes me a couple hours.

— And then – après updating – a cute little message popped up and said I should avoid security problems by clicking ‘here’.

—  I did that & the next weird message said I should “connect with WordPress.”

— Silly me, I clicked that too.

— And. I’ll admit I was slightly tired at the time, [ more like nearly exhausted? ] & when the the next screen finished loading – I found myself hijacked to where  the software wanted me to pick a theme and move on – then pick a domain name at wordpress dot com and in my nearly sleepwalking state – well – here I am trying to explain myself to nobody there –

But anyway, here I am.
