GREAT EXPECTATIONS!

May 13, FRIDAY, 2011


So, Dearest Blogger (Google),


You have taken away my post from Wednesday. In past days/years that might have bothered me. But today it only B O T H E R S  M E !!!!!!--grin!


Actually, this is a message of appreciation for all you have given me for nearly three years. I have used resources of yours worth a king's ransom. I publish exactly what I wish. You send new 'tools' for free--with directions. I may come and go, stop or start.


The only Peeps who complain to me--or worse, wash me from their blogs, are those who ALSO use your myriad of services, which again, cost nothing. I may be playful, serious, --grin or LOL, even cuss a bit. I may publish a photo of a hay field, or of a beautiful nude. You are, to me, good Google...never rude.


You will fix "Blogger" and restore my post--it is the the first of mine I really LIKE out of several hundred. So I will practice my violin, get ready to play a wedding (on the beach) tonight at 7 PM, and when I arrive back here about 9 PM......


YOU HAD BETTER HAVE THIS F'KNG THING FIXED OR I'LL QUIT! (Wait a minute--I was never hired--grin!)


In reality Google, I love you, and wish you PEACE. Being at the apex of your discipline is so very difficult. Peeps have told me that, or I'd never know.


P/S  But HEY! I did 'know' once, it was a quart of SMIRNOFF and a gallon of genuine White Port Wine which kept me on top for two whole days...I was King, Emperor, Director, Great Leader of all the world. I woke up in back of the barn, lying on a fermenting manure pile in the hot mid-day sun.


Goodbye!
Steve E

  4. I started to get upset at Google, Steve, until I realized that my year and a half of blogging hasn't cost me a cent and that Blogger has pretty much functioned without mishap during all that time...so I just quietly said a prayer of appreciation for all its given me, especially a world of friends, like you!

  11. Steve,
    I love this post. I might even use you as my feature post on T&T next week. Great attitude...lots of food for thought. I'm glad that you liked my butt-head post. It is always fun seeing your comments.
    Cheers,

  15. I love blogger. I don't care what other people complain about or what they want but don't get. Blogger almost never disappoints.

    Love you earthiness, Steve. Play on.

  16. I feel the same about all these cyber-miracles we take so for granted.

    Air travel...complain, complain! Do we forget (I heard this on Dave's blog) that 125 years ago it took a whole fall, winter and spring to get from east coast to west coast of US? Half the Peeps died, the other half were NOT who they were at the start of their journey...noe we fly across thousands of miles in matter of hours! And we complain.

    I L O V E it!!!

  18. We've become quite spoiled and used to having the world at our fingertips. A little downtime may not be a bad thing...loss of some posts is a sad thing though.

    If only the WHOLE WORLD could laugh once-in-a-while. I love laughing--and laugh loving! Glad to see you here!

    MAGPIE:
    Oh. THERE you are! (Long story about that line. SOME day I will put it up here, about a beautiful symphony harpist, and 5 feet of snow in Bangor, Maine.)
    Yesss, I agree with you, and I believe most Peeps do. We are quiet usually. It is complainers who make the noise! I believe nobody actually--in the end--lost a blog. Maybe wrong.....now THAT'S a real possibility--grin!!! I DID lose comments. And of course, the world has ended...right?
