Blogger is changing their policy on nudity on blogs, if your in violation of the new policy you will receive an e-mail well before it goes into effect. They kindly ask you to clean up your blog and if you fail to comply they will mark your site as private meaning that you and only those you specified will be able to view the content. I don’t believe they will allow new content to be published, but don’t quote me on that. In any case this will affect a great number of blogs on Blogger. If your depicting a nude photo, statue or drawing that is deemed to be artistic no worries the new policy won’t apply.
Honestly most people who want to publish that type of content have moved away from blogger and on to things like Tumblr, Twitter and Instagram. I don’t know of any of these platforms will have similar modifications on the types of content they deem allowable but I would suspect that with time it will probably happen. If your interested in publishing that type of content then you need a blog or a website that you and only you control. I’m not aware of a free way to accomplish that but there are pay solutions that will. Personally, I got a thrill from publishing content like that for a short time then it became a chore instead of a passion so I lost interest.
Speaking of naked guys, how about NPH at the Oscars in his undies. Don’t know what I am talking about just give it a Google and you soon will. I didn’t watch but the photo came across my Facebook feed and wow, I just had to save that photo to my phone. Priceless. It would have been better if he was naked but I will take what I can get. :-)
Yesterday evening was ho hum. My friend that is quitting his job called me back a couple times to get my opinion on a few things. Finally I had silence so I elected to feed the cats and try to shave and was going to follow up with a shower. The dam phone rang again. This time it was a different friend. I at least got my shave in. Then we wound up talking so I just gave up on the shower part. I was more interested in eating supper and moving on with the evening.
An external hard drive that I have was getting loud. You could unplug it and plug it back in but eventually it would get loud again. While things were going well, I elected to transfer the data off it and on to another external drive. It took twice as long as it should have but the job got done. I formatted the old drive and put a sticker on it to remind me that it’s defective. I want to get a very large like 3tb or above external hard drive and just keep everything I need on there. It will eliminate problems of having multiple drives, but since that isn’t in the budget right now and it’s not a critical need, I am keeping it on the back burner. I will get to it eventually.
I was all set for bed and then I lost Bear. I mean he’s 40 pounds solid black how could I lose him. I got frantic for a second and called out his name. He meowed and he was laying in his bed. It’s a dark blue and he is black so he disappeared in it. I was happy to have found him and that he was okay. He is always on my mind. We got some quality time in yesterday with a brushing, bath and a belly rub. Not to mention I rotated his plates of food for him to gobble on. He had a very good day of attention. Poor guy doesn’t get enough. That is the difficult part of having a small heard of cats and trying to cater to each one. Another example of this is I was rushing around the house this morning. An early meeting at work and I had to leave so I could set up for it. LB didn’t get his hug so he came looking for me. I gave him his hug and of course he was wet. He just used one of Bear’s pads to get even with me because I didn’t seek him out, he had to seek me out. I tell you they keep me hopping.
Everything was set and eventually I made it to bed. I wasn’t anxious to start today given how the last couple weeks have gone. Much to my surprise today has been calm and mostly stress free. I did have some problems. But nothing like the last 2 weeks. I am looking forward to having Friday off. I’ve got a therapy appointment in the afternoon. So much for a day to myself but in the end all of my actions … taking care of the car and going to therapy are going to benefit me. Plus I get an extra day off and once I am done I will be tuned in to House of Cards. I am so looking forward to that.
I am eager to follow up with my friend tonight and see how well received his resignation was and if he is going to be allowed to work his 2 weeks or if they just decided to call it quits and walked him out today. I have been thinking about him off and on all day long. He is taking a very bold step in not having something to go to. I know my last job was difficult and there were many times when I thought I was going to get fired. There are also many times I just wanted to throw in the towel and give up. However, I stuck it out and in the end they eliminated my position … so it worked to my benefit in that I was able to collect unemployment, there was no fight, but there was a delay before the left hand told the right hand what was going on. I disagree with him just giving up but I also understand reaching a breaking point and wanting to put it all behind you and start over. So while I see both sides of the coin I still think it would be far better for him in the long run if he would just stick it out.
The Raccoons are surviving but I am not exactly sure how. They finally ate the frozen cat food that I set out for them days ago. I thought for sure one of them was dead but that wasn’t the case, thank God! There is still 3 of them I presume Momma, Daddy and Baby. I think they may have more but only three of them will fit in the window well. If I could I would pump some heat out there for them but that isn’t possible. I’d love to help them but I think letting them be is probably the best help I can give them. It’s either that or call critter control to trap them and relocate them elsewhere. However, I don’t want to be a home wrecker, unless it’s absolutely necessary.
Stay warm…talk with you peeps later.
