More Blogger Problems....How About You?

I know Blogger has changed the posting editor, but has anyone had any problems with their posts not appearing in other bloggers dashboards and reader?  I did.  I posted one of DJan's photographs with one of my poems here, on June 6th.

When I did not hear a word from DJan... I knew something was wrong. I emailed her to look, and she told me it never came in on her reader....but she could see my post.  I checked with another friend, and she too said it did not come in on her dashboard, but she could see the post on my blog.  I checked with a few more friends, and they all said the same thing...

Has anyone else had this problem?  What is up with Blogger?  There isn't anything on Blogger status or Blogger Known Issues either...

Has Anyone Had This Reaction???

Yesterday, I got the Shingles vaccine. So far, I am very impressed with my new health insurance...I had zero co-pay, covering the vaccine 100%. SWEET!

I have been busy the last two days, but today, I asked my husband to look at my arm (they inject the vaccine just under the skin, on the under side of the arm, so it is not easy for me to view...)

I have a red circle about the size of a silver dollar around the injection site...doesn't itch...is a little hard to touch, kind of tender, but no pain.  I have been icing it and am now in between ice packs to write this...

Anyone else have any reactions to the Shingles vaccine?

SURVEY: I Would Appreciate Your Opinion...(2nd post today)

What do you prefer when commenting on blogs... Would you rather have a reply back by email or would you rather go back to the post where you left your comment for an answer?

Generally, when one of you leave me a comment after my post, I email back to you, rather than answering in the comment section...unless we are having a discussion...but I noticed lately, I have almost exclusively been emailing back directly.  I also have noticed my comments have slacked off...maybe not seeing my comments after every one's comment, gives the impression I don't respond.?  Or is everyone just busy?

I am interested in your opinions and input... thanks!

What I'd Like To Know...

I have been very busy lately, adding up and getting all our tax information for our tax person.  He comes the end of the week.  What I'd like to know is, how can a woman, who hates math, be the delegated individual to deal with this?  I mean, my husband is a human calculator and a former banker!!

We were noticed our car insurance will go up $20 a month.  We have a clean record and no claims...but were told there were a vast amount of car claims in Nevada, so all us "good and reliable" drivers must pay for those who caused the increase.  My husband hit the roof...and started calling various other car insurance companies....turns out, even with the increase, so far, AARP is still the cheapest.

I figured I would try to find a way to counteract the increase by saving on one of our other utilities...

So, in addition to gathering up the tax stuff, (which I HATE to do and choose to procrastinate at every opportunity...) I have been calling each of our utilities to see if there is any way to lower our monthly bill.  Once I finish my survey, I will share it with all of you...

What I'd like to know...how does one get cheap, inexpensive Internet service without hauling one's lap top down to the nearest coffee house?  We have ours bundled with our land line.  If we cancel the land line (and use our cell phones instead) the company will raise the monthly amount of our Internet.  I am looking into a "work around" to this, so we can keep the $25 a month Internet fee.

I had planned to write more...but I am sleepy and can no longer think...night, night...sweet dreams...

I Wonder How I'd Look As A Redhead...

For some time now, years, I have wanted to become a redhead. 

Our family genealogy is a little Irish, a little Norwegian, a bit of Pennsylvania Dutch and some German.  I focus on the Irish.  I have red headed cousins. My oldest grandson was born with red hair. My hair used to be a reddish blond in my twenties and early thirties.

When my sister and I were taking pictures of one another, we both noticed how gray my hair looked compared to hers.

Today, I told my hair dresser we are going to try something new... it turned out more strawberry blond, but it is a good start...and I LOVE IT!
