Hey girl!! Thanks, great to see you!! I've been here, there and long story but main blog or no, I wanted to come back.
Culture Surfer still going strong, I hope!!! No doubt it is. Will get over your way some time today. I'm off to work in a little bit, but did want to check in, say hi and re-invite my friends over here.

Love ya,
Jillee

PS....Like the new pic...Very nice!!!

Oh, she's so precious and I'm so glad she's holding her own....with a lot of TLC. She's not lacking that.
Edgar is going on 27 and had a hard way to go recently, but he's back. Still on the fluids 3 times a week and his heart meds. 27, it's just amazing. Although, I've never lost a dog under 22....but with all his health problems, well, he's just amazing.

And, don't tell him how old he is because he wouldn't believe you. Still runs 3 acres with the other dogs and keeps UP with them.

Don't we just love our furry/feathery friends? They really do bring us so much joy.

Delia's picture is here on my love table with all of the other pets I just adore.

Thanks for letting me know how good she's doing!!

Hey Lois!! I agree that someone would have to experience this first to know.

First, I lost my email. I couldn't retrieve any of my mail and I was waiting for something to come. Just like waiting for the mailman.
Everytime I logged on, I would get an error message that either my email (username) was invalid or my password. And, I never save passwords for email.
This went on forever it seemed. Contacting Opera support. Them emailing me with yet another 'Ticket' Number that it was being looked into.
Then going back and forth talking with tech support and saying/explaining the same thing over and over and over and it just was NOT penetrating.

(Jillee is rambling here...BIG TIME)

Ok, then I cannot get onto my blog. I can go on it now and leave a message, sure, but I have no admin rights. I cannot change/add because I have no access to my blog's account.

When I first signed up on Opera to blog, I did use wand to save my blog's password. Well, wand stopped doing it's magic so I could no longer sign into my blog because I had forgotton my password from a year ago.
When I asked for a temp password, one was emailed to me and when I tried to use it, an error stated it was invalid. And this was done many times.

So, to make a real long and boring story a bit shorter, while I was still blogging on my main blog, I had started this one for my poetry. This is where it really get's crazy.
So, one night I tried to sign into this blog, using the password I had NOT saved, for obvious reasons, and it brought me over to my main blog, where I was just a guest. I then asked why my password was not being accepted after it HAD been after 100 times using it, and I was told...(are ya ready????)
"Are you sure you are typing it in right?"

That's when I just threw my hands up and said Jill, you're not going to win. In fact, you're not even allowed to play anymore!

No exaggeration, I have at least 30 emails from tech support and they were all just "an organized way of accomplishing nothing."

Ok, now I'm even tired of listening to myself. Let's see how long I can keep this blog going.

I have no problems with ANY other browser and I work A LOT on my puter. And, let's even forget about the browser, it's when I am blogging (regardless of how I get here) and problems with passwords, usernames being valid one night, invalid the next! And, lack of support.

I've always known of the bugs and also know I am in the minority when it comes to experiencing the amount and different problems that I have, but they still need to communicate better to resolve these issues.

I guess I can always keep in touch as a guest. But, again...why should I have to?

If you read this far...Thanks....it's a bit more detailed but like I said....too long a story.

From time to time, when time allowed, I would stop in to read some posts but disgusted that I could not reply by any means but PM/guest. That's no fun.

You know Lois, I didn't realize how much time had passed until I saw the date on my last post. I guess it goes by whether you're having fun or not!!! LOL

I did miss everyone. You get attached, you know?

Good to be back! Love ya!

CultureSurfer looking good!! Someone's been hard at work and you should be proud!!!

Re: Delia...Out of sight I may have been but always in my thoughts!

The 'night wolf' has arrived!! Hey friend!! Good to see ya!

Hey John! Thanks for the welcome!

I'm glad to hear about the reunion, of sorts, with your step-daughter. Awesome. Really happy for you, both! This is a 'good' thing!!!

And I didn't know there was a such thing as 'privacy' concerning the Internet. Joking, of course!!
I had someone out here working on my system and gee, the games people play. I think some people have too much time on their hands, with tracking others IP addresses, down to the 'private' access line their blogging from. It amazed me. But then, people never cease to.

How IS business/work going? Are you staying busy?

Thanks for popping over John. My schedule hasn't changed much in the way I can come on here, the time, that is. Very late. There are a couple mornings I now have more free time and look forward to catching up a bit then!

Peace my friend!!

Hey there, Claude.....Now, this is the real French Connection!!

I've been tired too, my friend, almost going blind in front of this screen....but work had to be done. I'm taking a little break from all of it. I had to make a lot of changes, rearranging life and in so many ways. It all got to be too much.
But, I did willingly dive into the deep end and with both eyes open. Just didn't plan on treading water so long!!!

I agree that "a change is gonna come" and should and I hope for the best for the future of our country. You 'do' have a way with words!

Stay sweet!

Hi FIFINELEB and Thanks! Yes, I remember. It was a few months ago, my last post, I think?

How nice to think about where I was. I've never really posted steady. Blogging was new to me when I came here and mostly I enjoyed reading. I've never been afforded the time to devote to building a blog as some on Opera, as their blogs are awesome reads!!! And, especially when I start a new project, which I did in the early fall. I jump into it and give it all I have to make sure it get's off the ground, and it did and I'm glad I devoted the time needed to do so. I do like coming on at least once a week or so...I've always enjoyed that.

Regarding my blog, I'm just fet up with the whole thing. Yes, I can view it, but the same as you can. Nothing else. I have no rights to it. Opera will not give me another password or should I say, when I have received one, it was not recognized and the issue was never resolved. It was forgotton after that. They stated there was nothing they could do, that it must be something on my end.
Whatever!

I guess after all of this talk, my time here will be limited, due to all of the loyal Opera Bloggers!! hehehe...or maybe not, we'll see.

Hey, thanks for stopping over! Have a great week, too!

Hia Scott! And, thank you! I didn't post for a few months not because of these issues, although when I did have a free moment, they did stop me from coming here. It just wasn't worth the aggravation, if you know what I mean.
I've had a lot going on. Just life. Another crossroad. Lost my direction.

It's easy enough to copy and transfer your work, not all of it, of course. Pics are a different story. The problem is not being recognized and consistantly ignoring calls for help. If anyone can tell me why I cannot be given a password, to reset, and then after receiving it, the password given by Opera....not being recognized...I'd sure like to hear that answer.

Anyway, I look forward to your posts, also. I usually spend quite awhile on your blog reading. You've always been one of my favorites.

Take care and you'll be seeing me real soon. Great Big Hugs!!!!

Jille had...yeah, I'll buy that or at least put a decent down payment on the next one!!LOL

Busy you have been and a load to haul, wew. So, you've been double-timing it, although you will get busier next season, I'm sure.

Never a dull moment, eh? Thanks for bringing me up to speed!

Even when everything seems to go south, you still have that beautiful and breath-taking country to share your days with!

I sure will, Amir...you sweetie, you!

My "Wolf Man"..YEAH!!

FIFINELEB....Thanks!

When I get my sound back on this thing, I'll listen to that video. I 'watched' it with fond memories of when dancing in the snow with backyard friends was a time I need to remember....wasn't really that long ago.

And, thanks for the pic! You made my day!

Peace Friend!

Hi Sully!! It's good to see you, too!

Yeah, those winds of change, ever blowin', eh?

How's that special guy of yours? Our children are so precious and the biggest part of our lives. I always loved to hear how you describe how awesome he is. He's a lucky boy!

Thanks for stopping by, too, really appreciate it.

Hugs:)

It's so nice to hear a Dad share their feelings about their children. Very refreshing!!!

Thanks, Sully!

Happy New Year to you, my friend! I look forward to the catching up!

Thank You, Marcus....stay sweet!
