Blogger is Not Being Nice


Unfortunately, Blogger has stopped my comments again. Yesterday I was able to comment on a few blogs and then I couldn't. Today is another day of silence from moi. So, I'll just have to talk about myself. 

The sciatic nerve pain has greatly reduced, but not gone. Being put off your feet as an, um, elder really can quickly set back progress made over a couple of years. Regaining that progress is not so quick.

We had a wonderful daylong rain on Monday, which was very much needed. We are starting to look like spring. It's currently 42 F and sunshine. It should be dry enough tomorrow to mow the lawn, which is swiftly becoming a hay field. The gates have been opened to the pastures, allowing the horses to adjust to grass while it starts to grow. Life is trundling along. That said, the anxious dread many are feeling is persistently hovering.


I don't know why I rarely make a casserole. I need to talk to myself about this. They are so easy it's really not cooking at all. Some leftover chicken, a little bacon, asparagus, artichoke hearts and of course, onion and garlic. Voila! Dinner. And there is enough for two more meals. 

Chin up, face the day with as much gusto as we can muster.

*I was able to comment to my blog on the phone. I may need to figure out a plan to use both my phone and computer together. I can't read them on my phone, my hands and eyes protest.*

I like hearing your account of spring prep. Meanwhile blogger has taken to deleting my own replies on my own blog. I have to reenter them. Then sometimes they appear twice. It makes a person seem a bit slow on the uptake.

I wonder why blogger does this seemingly randomly. You always make supper look nice, no matter what you cook. We had leftovers last night too, but not so pretty.

Your Hotdish looks good, my husband would not eat it because of the vegetables. The only green veg he eats is green beans with crisp fried bacon and a bit of vinegar:)

Again that beautiful china. And your meal looks so delicious! It is cold and raining here today and a nice hot dish would be perfect.

This not being to comment is crazy and drives me nuts. I will make this short because the fail to publish will rear its ugly head.
Take Care,

Dear Sandra, your meal looks delicious! I am glad your pain is reducing, hopefully it will dissipate entirely!
As for Blogger, thankfully I have had no issues with comments. I have noticed, though, that the news feeder/reader is out of whack.
For example, when anyone makes a new post whether it is done beforehand or published immediately, there is a delay of it appearing in the news reader! However, it will appear immediately on your blog itself...but since there is a delay in the news reader, people don't know your new post is up until it appears in the reader.

I like how you think when doing your casseroles. I love casseroles! Sorry you are still having problems with commenting, it can be very frustrating. I have heard others who have had the same problem off and on, and I had that problem last year. I also had an issue further back where my replies to comments disappeared, and actual commenters disappeared. Touch wood, all seems to be okay in the moment, but I may have jinxed myself. I'll continue to wish you relief from your sciatic nerve pain and hope it disappears entirely very soon. I keep seeing relief remedies online but not sure about their authenticity. I can send them if you like?
