What a week. I fought with WordPress because they changed how to post links, but even though I lost a lot of work, I got a few here.

Damn fucking WordPress.  I worked for three hours to add to this post.  Everything I added got wiped out due to my forgetting to hit copy and had a link in my clipboard.  Hours and tens of tens of images gone.  No way to get them back.   I hate this new system to force everyone to use the block system, which makes blogging harder for me on the computer as it is designed for doing on a smart phone or tablet.  Damn it.  Sorry guys.  Back to a few more I can add before posting tomorrow.  Hugs.  Scottie
