The Frustration Continues And The Democrats on Logo

It is apparent to me that Blogger and Picasa2 are having a family feud. I say apparently as they are definitely not communicating and family feud because they are both Google products. It would not surprise me if Bill Gates was actually the shadow parent of the bastard children. I would not put it past MS to help create such a mess in the first place. I never new it could be so hard just to get a few photos to upload to a blog. Needless to say my frustration is a continuing thing for right now, as I can't even get an answer to why this is occurring from the Google Help Group. They sent me a list of the current questions that are being asked, but failed to provide any answers, so I am still left in the dark as to why I cannot do what I have done for lo these past many months in my effort to entertain and amuse you. Are any of you experiencing the same problems uploading photos to Blogger, whether or not you use Picasa2? Even the upload photo function in Blogger is giving me fits. Never the less I did manage to get today's eye candy section uploaded in about 3 times the amount of time that it would normally take me. Selecting the images has turned out to be the easy part, getting them from my hard drive to Blogger has been like trying to cross the Mississippi in Minneapolis after the bridge fell. Not that I am making light of that tragic incident, but geez, why does Google have to make things so hard in the first place? Then when something is definitely not working right leave you hanging out there wondering if all of the sudden you have a curse on your computer. In any event, I have finally got them uploaded and tomorrow I will once again enter into the fray and hopefully have an easier time of it.

Speaking of tomorrow, the Democrats are having a debate on GLBT issues broadcast live on LOGO at 9PM Eastern time. It will be simulcast on the web here for those of you whose cable or satellite systems do not give you LOGO as an option. This is historic as no Presidential potentials have ever addressed these issues in a formal setting, much less on a Gay network. The other guys were invited to participate in one of their own, but of course they refused, could not have any self respecting Republican appearing on such a radical thing as a Gay network. What would Mr and Mrs Right Wingnut have to say about that? It would not do to alienate such a loyal group of money lenders from the temple and the candidates for high priest, now would it?
Anyway, I myself am going to watch to see how much the Dem's equivocate or if they actually address the real issues facing our communities. Will they embrace diversity and equality or will they waffle in the middle of the road like a tired sedan with 4 flats? We shall certainly see!

That's it for now, enjoy the eye candy and we will see you back here again tomorrow!

I'm glad you went ahead and posted all this wonderful material, instead of giving up in frustration--as I might have! My biggest frustration with Blogger is that often, after I've just posted something, when I go back to "View Blog" it still shows me the OLD version of the blog, before the edit I just made! Grrrr. Sometimes I have to clear my browser history before it will show me the new version of the blog; sometimes I have to clear the history AND quit Safari; and sometimes I have to clear the history, quit Safari, AND shut down the computer and come back again before I'm able to see what I just posted! This doesn't happen every time, thank god, but often enough!
