I am furious at Facebook. First my Chrome browser stopped
playing videos about half of the time. Anything that someone posts with one of
those little arrows that takes you to another page would work as far as opening
a black window and little indicators showing that something was downloading, but
when it was time to play, ZIPPO, NADA!
So Happy Trusting Fool that I am, I thought “Try Firefox and
see it IT will play them.” Problem is, I have not used Firefox for nearly a
year, so when I clicked the bookmark icon to open my FB page, it asked for my
password. I can not remember all of these darned things, so I went to my file
and looked it up. Typed it in and FB said “WRONG.” Thus began my midnight trip
down the Rabbit Hole!
I used the laptop, e-mail and the cell phone in an attempt to set a new password. I had to seek
codes that would not appear where they were supposed to, and when I would enter
the code they sent via-email, which is what the website was telling me to use,
the website would tell me NO that was the wrong code. I kept trying and
trying.
The first 2 times I thought it was working, I got the message
that my new password was too much like my old one, I had to have a new one. So
I would make up a new one—and THEN use the wrong damned code. So I would have
to start over! Now it is telling me that I changed my password at a little after midnight, but it does not recognize any of the passwords I tried, and I have NO idea which one it accepted because the website did not tell me that it HAD. I want to SCREAM!!!!
Finally, when I was about to cry, FB told me I had tried to
enter too many codes. To try later. I had so much I wanted to tell people
tonight.
The Mariners won 8-1 and they were playing Detroit, who had been
going great guns till just the past few games. We won 2 out of 3, losing only
King Felix’ game because of the crappy umpire. They are flying tonight to play
the Washington Nationals for the next 2 or 3 days.
I did another afternoon of “cherry duty” raking up downed
squishy cherries from the dirt under the tree and along the sides of the
terraces of my yard, along with the fallen lavender blossoms from the Rose of
Sharon bushes. Then set the sprinkler on the front yard and got ready to hand
water the sides.
First had to go to the side of the house where my back porch
is and set up the pen for Poquito, then carry the hose to the back from the
front. Thank God for this feather weight shrinking hose. Next pay day I am
getting a separate set for the other side of the house and stop this silly
hauling stuff.
Went back to the front and got the dog and the big scoop (the
giant dust pan from Home Depot) and did the cherries, then the dropped flowers.
Then watered all the big potted plants back there. I MUST get my little cherry
tree into the ground this fall. It is not going to make it for another year in
a container, and those cherries were delish! Need to do some serious further
pruning on the two big Hydrangeas because they are so wide, they don’t leave
much room for my wide self to get by between them and Tom and Robbie’s
hedge.
Also, knowing state law now, I can whack the hell out of the
huge overgrown Rhodies on my back corner-from-hell. The homeliest peachy-pink
one if at least 2 feet over my head now. Far too big for that space.
Got the garbage and recyle totes down to the street and saw half
a dozen more darned Dandelions back up and ugly in the cracks of my driveway.
Have to cut those off tomorrow. I tried vinegar which was supposed to kill
them, but all it did was dry up the greenery from that growth and as soon as I
removed that, the new stuff grew right back. RATS!
Earlier in the day, I had taken Poquito to Silverdale to
Petsmart to try some new little cans of dog food. The clerk suggested a kind
that has protein as its first ingredient and only 5% veggies and no grains. All
of this is supposed to be a good thing, and when I offered him some in the car
(because he had refused his turkey I had cooked for him last night and I knew he
was hungry) he took about 2 tiny bites and quit. So I put it back in the bag
till we got home. Served it to him at dinner time and got the “I won’t eat
that” routine, so after I finished eating, I hand fed the little ogre. He
downed the whole little can (the size of a small tuna can.) Now he is sleeping
like a baby. Best thing that happened today.
There is one more entry after this one—actually written last month, I think. I am going to go re-read it after I get this posted, since
FB is closed to me. I don’t know how I am going to get back in FB. I can’t
access my security questions. THAT pisses me off! Why have them if I can’t use
them? I tried following directions from the FB Help page but of course, nothing
in my experience was coming up like the directions said it would. I would just
leave but there is so much stuff stored there that I want to access to save.
Curse words…..many, many of them!
I found some darling MahJong games on Google with Halloween
tiles, so will go play a couple of those! Good night to you all!
