The monster in the machine...

Blogger will not upload my photo.
That is a problem for another day. 

I 'think' the email issue is figured out.  I have lost count of how many techs I have spoken to.  The last one spent at least an hour trying to figure it out.  He said that my email was working fine, but that it was a problem with Google.  I had tried to relog into Google, but it insisted on sending a code to my email address on file...you guessed it, that email wouldn't go through to my inbox.  A wicked, WICKED circle of doo-doo.  (Doo-doo is apparently a technical term, as I once had a gastroenterologist use it in response to my question to him about my mother's colonoscopy scans.  I then asked him how many years he attended school to use such big words.  I mean seriously did I look like such a rube that I wouldn't understand if he said fecal matter?)

But I digress.

I finally told the tech at my email service to enter a note on my 'ticket' that customer went into hysterics and asked to please end the call, because her head was exploding as I cunningly let my voice crack with the sound of impending tears.  He was appropriately sympathetic, and did as I asked.

After a short cooling off period, I went back to Google and requested the sign in code be sent to my phone, and miracle of miracles it somehow worked.  It previously had NOT worked because I had to be signed in for my phone to receive new messages also.

Anyway, I am still not sure what I did wrong, or right, or when it will all happen again.  At least maybe I will feel a little better when I enter my new password, because it includes a bad work, and it's not DOO-DOO!

I have had a lot of really gross spam comments left lately, so I am having to turn comment moderation back on. To my nice blog friends, my apologies if this makes it more difficult for you to comment. To the mean naughty-talk spammers, just go away!
