How...HOW????...to cope with impending old age?

Why in heaven's name did I never think of this? It's so obvious! Hire someone to come to the house and provide the services you'd get in an old-folkerie. What would be the advantages? What would be the disadvantages? What would be the effect on M'hito? What be the effect on me? Y'know, my father

Egad!!

Welp! Here we are: barreling toward the close of a balmy day in lovely Arizona. Lively thunderstorms blast back and forth across the northern sky. Shoot out the back door: water the potted plants. It's 108 out there. Skies full of fat, dark thunderclouds. Saith Wunderground: "gusty winds will push s...

A relatively calm July 4 in the 'Hood. Thank goodness!!

Gosh. A whole post was almost done here, dated July 4. And...egad! Apparently I never published it. Out it goes. Far as I recall, it wasn't a truly horrible evening. Often July 4 is truly horrible here, with idiots setting off their bang-bangs way-y-y into the night. The reason for this: Our honored...

Holee Mackerel! Check this out:

It’s partly AI, partly a get-rich-quick scheme, and entirely bad for confused consumers.

LOL! What an amazing amount of extra work this little antic of Facebook's has added. Oh well. :-D Would've been nice if they'd done this while things were quiet. We have an entire biannual journal in-house, and just as I was about to sit down to work on one of its departments, in came 2000 more words of math copy from China! That's good...we love our Chinese mathematicians. But...how fine WOULD it be if things happened one at a time?

Okay, so it looks like deleting the photo that FB demanded I upload fixed that snafu. Now the question is, how to get FB to quit pestering you? :-D

"Your page will be unpublished soon...." so you'd better get your a$$over there and write a post, because of course we know you have nothing else to do with your time." WTF, Facebook????? The last post went up less than three weeks ago. Do I have to post a line of "Mary had a little lamb" each day to keep Mr. Zuckerberg and his bots happy?

ohhhhkayyyy.... So FB nags me to come here and post something, like I have nothing else to do. Instantly it disappears the post, which at any rate it was about to mount under the wrong banner image. Innaresting. :-D Let's try again: here's why I've about had enough with the techno-nuisances today...

What new page? How can my page be unpublished for not publishing things on it when I puyblish things all the time? Is there a way to count the ways that Facebook is obnoxious?
