We Get What We Pay For    

          Oh, the miserable life of a blogger. In June - blogspot.com - offered a new and improved arrangement for writing and publishing blogs. 

   We were sore afraid, but we clicked on the icon: Try the new blogger! 
Just about everything was different or moved or hidden by demons. 

   Having located the icon to open a blank page, we tried it for two weeks. But there was no way to access photos and other images. 
   
   We went to the "HELP" section for, well, help! Later we looked for our answer, but instead found dozens and dozens of questions by other bloggers who were having far worse problems. Would you believe? Bloggers' blogs disappeared, and similar horror stories. 

   Turns out, there are no technical experts. Apparently the system is at the mercy of the bloggers, some of them experts, or so they think. And it is free, so complaining is not permitted. 

   We were fretting about returning to the old system when suddenly, an angel appeared in the heavens, telling me to click on the blogger icon again. Lo and behold, we are back in the promised land. We won't be offended if you don't believe that. 

When is this gonna stop?

It is the system that obliterates people's sense of humanity.

It isn't hateful for women to speak...nor do they deserve shaming...
