I ended up with an agreement to pay Google .99 cents every month for photo storage and now all my photos stay posted. <br />I’ll look into it and see if I can find the exact name for it, in case you want to do but I certainly understand if you didn’t want to.

Wrong! At least we have power. My oldest daughter lives in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex and they have been having rolling blackouts. Some ladies had posted on Instagram that they have been without heat and one gal posted pictures of icicles on the inside of her windows. Apparently wind turbines are used to generate electricity and they have been frozen. So happy that your kitties have a good place to stay warm. <br /><br />Did you see on the news that Uncle Bill's Pet Store on 38th Street burned? Those poor animals.<br /><br />The Urban Farmer fired up the snow blower yesterday and cleaned off the driveway. He wore his insulated coveralls, heavy socks with his heavy boots, scarf, heavy gloves and toboggan. It looked like we had at least 10 inches, maybe 12 inches of snow. We looked outside later and our ninety year old neighbor was doing his driveway with just a short coat and no hat. Gotta dress for the weather.<br /><br />Just got a text from my daughter in Texas and they will have temps in the 60's next week. <br /><br />Hope you get your Blogger issue fixed. Stay warm! <br /><br /><br /><br />Donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10328333345401673320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7341912661779864632.post-52601002902953671752021-02-17T06:31:39.005-05:002021-02-17T06:31:39.005-05:00Thanks.

One presumably for your blog, and one for your photo storage? It's possible you're logged out of one of the accounts (the photo storage account)? Can you try logging in to whatever you use for photo storage, and downloading your photo to your computer? Then, you should find it when you are ready to upload to blogger. Or, alternatively, what about emailing it to yourself from the account that you use to upload photos, to your blogger email account - then upload? <br /><br />Generally, the issue is caused by some sort of permissions problem between the photo sharing & your blog account.

We were busy to day at work with lots of "no heat" calls. Yesterday they were doing rolling blackouts to ease the load on the grid. We came home and both quickly showered in case the power went out for us. We didn't use any big appliances and I kept the furnace lower than I normally would. I felt like we did our part to help out. Today they ended the blackouts. Thank goodness it will be 30s-40s ABOVE zero by the weekend. <br />I feel bad for all those in the south also.

It's so true that animals are much easier to love. Have you ever tried soaking in magnesium flakes in the tub? A youtuber, Lisa Eldridge, mentioned it in a vid I watched a while back. She said it really makes you relax, so, I bought the brand she mentioned and soaked for 20 mins. It worked--zzzz. Whatever you used, I'm sure you enjoyed that soak :)<br />I had the exact same problem you're taking about with Blogger about 10 years ago when I blogged. But, I can't remember what I ended up doing. I hope you get some good help with that.<br />Mary in San DiegoMaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15895877653972323599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7341912661779864632.post-19862296168832508172021-02-16T14:54:12.399-05:002021-02-16T14:54:12.399-05:00OH NO!!!!

A few years ago when I did night work right out in the country up little lanes we did get a lot of snow and it was frightening to drive in it. The Polish colleagues said at home they put chains on the cars and no problem but we can't do that here. After a hard 10 hour night shift when all I wanted to do was sleep it was no fun crawling home on icy roads. Some of us paired up to take turns to drive as it was nice to have company.

I'm in a townhome community and they're supposed to handle sidewalks, steps and walkways from the sidewalk to the front door, as well as driveway slabs and most of the roads in our community (the Village handles the 3 major roads in and out, we handle the rest). I shoveled twice late afternoon and early evening yesterday -- about 6" in total, and we got additional snow overnight, about 10" in total. And that's on top of the 18" or so we already had on the ground. Our snow removal contractor is doing a much better job this morning, compared to our snow over the last two weeks. I'm sure the sunshine and warmer temps are helping. My only concern is that we're supposed to get above freezing this weekend and for much of next week. The street sewer drains are all buried under mounds of snow. So, I'm expecting that we'll wind up with some flooding. <br /><br />Thank you for caring for the kitties and other wildlife. With the snow being so deep, I know they'll enjoy it. Can't help with Blogger, though I'm having similar issues with Facebook, where I need to select photos and approve for upload and others in my albums are restricted (even ones I posted years ago). I'm betting it has to do with copyright compliance or something similar.<br /><br />Stay safe and keep warm!
