A Complaint, A Little Scare

what the eff yo? anyone else having massive problems with blogger the last couple of days?

i had to rewrite my entire previous post on the greening life. it was the most frustrating thing on earth. it had sipmly disappeared! it got saved as a draft version without the words and with only half the photos. luckily it was the last thing i looked at on my ipod thingie so i reworked it from there. but still!
i lost all your beautiful comments. i felt like we had a good thing going and then poof! it's all gone.

not to whine. i'll stop.

i just wanted to ask if anyone has tips for not losing all the content we've so trustingly stored here on the elusively non-tangible internet world?

It seems like everyone who posted in the last 24 hours had that post deleted or messed up. I'm so sorry you had to go back and redo yours! It's such a sweet post, too.

I save all my posts as part of a running word document, which then goes onto a portable memory thingie that I can't remember the name of. Word accepts pics too, so I just pull the whole thing.

You look very pretty in your blouse, I'm glad you like it.

I think it's a pretty widespread issue :/ I lost a post, and all the comments from the post prior to it. I've heard lots of people say something similar too. What a mess!

What! You're right. My last post is gone. So sad. Your greening story was the best blog ever! I wonder if this will get fixed.

ARgh, i know! I lost comments on my last post too. But i didn't lose my actual post luckily. Technology is ANNOYING when it doesn't perform the way it is supposed to. Look forward to reading your next post love.

I had the same experience! Once I completely rewrote it and reposted, the old post REAPPEARED! Give it another day or so before you rewrite it, some are coming back slowly...
good luck! I'm considering typing mine in word for now on just in case :(

I thought I was just going through a dry spell. No comments. Silence in the blogging world but then I couldn't even read anyone elses blogs. Alas paranoia, rest and sleep, for they too are having trouble! :D haha. Sorry you lost your post! ;( How frustrating!!!

Here's the latest on this situation: http://buzz.blogger.com/2011/05/blogger-is-back.html

The good news is, it sounds like everything lost is going to be restored soon, including comments. That is such a huge bummer having to rewrite that entire post though.

I write out my posts on a word document first too, just in case.

I want to read the comments on your previous wonderful post, so I hope they do comeback soon!

Reading that article makes me endeared to blogger. I'm sure they were feeling the pain big time. It's so lucky that all these blogging services are free for us to use....

I did notice that you had left a comment on my post that wasn't there. The only reason I even knew you commented was because it sent me an email on yahoo when you did it. I thought it was just a weird fluke until I read this post of yours. I hope this type of thing doesn't happen very often! Tina

Tuesdays in my Town - Buck's Bar on the Cosumnes River

Image
Okay, not to turn this into "my favorite river spots" or anything...but it just hit 100 degrees here and i had the pleasure on saturday of going with some of my favorite people to one of our...yes indeed i can't resist.... favorite river spots .  since i talk about the river a lot, all summer long, i figured i'd go ahead and show you all this particular spot for this week's "Tuesdays in my Town." so, my town placerville (aka p-ville, peevs, and infamously "old hangtown") is actually located between two beautiful rivers coming out of the sierra nevada mountains: the american river to our north and the cosumnes river to our south. my friends and i have spots we prefer on both rivers, depending on the day, the kind of hike you want to do, and the month of the year. on saturday we drove out toward somerset down buck's bar road to the bridge and hiked out to the perfect june swimming hole in the cosumnes river, which, by the way, i r

"I, now thirty-seven years old in perfect health begin..."

I celebrate myself, and sing myself, And what I assume you shall assume, For every atom belong to me as good belongs to you. I loafe and invite my soul, I lean and loafe at my ease observing a spear of summer grass. My tongue, every atom of my blood, form'd from this soil, this air, Born here of parents born here from parents the same, and their parents the same, I, now thirty-seven years old in perfect health begin, Hoping to cease not till death. It struck me, when I read Song of Myself several years ago, that thirty-seven years old , that magical Whitmanesque age, was still in the future for me. How exciting that felt! To know that this wonderful age that was such a pure and boisterous beginning for the bard, was something I could look forward to. To know that I could set forth on new adventures, and sing the praises of the earth, and be wild and merry and voluptuous and bold. Now and forever. and especially at 37. And so suddenly I am here!

handmade homes take to the open road

i want this to be us so bad...rollin away in a fairytale bus made of wood and wheels, porch and books. this is from another book in the series of rad 70s handmade house books that i've written about before and missa wrote about here  ( raddest houseboats ever, ever, ever ) this one is all about handmade hippie houses on the road. we have it at the bookery in the locked case; it's a collectible and thus way out of my price range. but i still get to look at its gloriousness. these photos of the pages look much better than mine, found in this wonderful little delight here , check these caravans out: standing in the mist with its little terra cotta pots and windowpanes, killing this fairytale heart a mine. i can picture joey and emily in this one, our neighbors. and this one can house addie and art, and we'll drive cross the prairies together. this covered-wagon one seems the most fun of all. roll back the canvas and sleep
