I blame Monday's government holiday for making me forget about yesterday's post. I even had it started and everything. Derp. Anyway...
I think I might've figured out FB and their damn bots. It's all about those banned words I've mentioned before. If I use the words 'killed/kill' or 'murder/murderer', it's more likely to slap me with a content warning and tell me I'm a spammer. Fuckers. I'm talking about a MURDER mystery where people get KILLED and there's a KILLER on the loose. I've already told FB their bots are insane, but since it's only bots reading the complaints, I doubt it'll get anywhere. I'm not going to hide those words, but I may have to reword some stuff for future marketing. Turds.
It's been raining here for about 24 hours. Okay, Mother Nature, that's enough. Thank you. Go drip for a while at Mom's house. Her plants need watering and if you do it, it means my sis doesn't have to.
Copied from my FB post yesterday: "Hubs and I were out on the sun porch having a smoke, when we heard a fawn bleating. Actually, the dang thing sounded like it was shouting "MOM! MO-OM!" at full volume. Within seconds, a doe comes charging up the hill hell-bent for leather and ready to fight, with another doe close behind her. She stops just inside the neighbor's backyard and a fawn runs up. He (it had to be a buck fawn making that much of a fuss) immediately starts nursing like nothing much was going on. She allowed it for a couple minutes and then wandering off down the hill again, with him trailing along behind her."
I hate when FB changes my font and I can't figure out how to make it stop, other than inserting new paragraphs and moving the changed text up so unweirded paragraphs drop below it. Frankly, it's a pain. On the other hand, the font adds interest.
The trail camera is awesome, but all those pics are filling my harddrive. I mean, one night I got like 350 pics. The next, it was like 650 pics. At 1-3 megs each, those things fill my 'puter up fast. Yesterday, I went through deleting, which, if you know me, you know I can't stand deleting pics even when they're blurry. Anyway, I did it, and I'll have to continue to do it or face the very real reality of running out of space.
Running out of space on a computer harddrive... I'm one of the old souls who maxed her computer out regularly, so I had to go through on a regular basis and delete shit. It was either wipe it out of existence or move it to floppies. And since my deletion anxiety stems from back then, you can imagine I had a LOT of floppies. (3.5s aren't really floppy. I remember the real floppies.)
Anyway, I have a lot of pics and some of them are pretty cool, so tune in tomorrow for that. If I remember...
Peace out.
FB sucks in that regard. Lots of folks resort to things like "k!llers* and "m*rder". It's only going to get worse with further reach suppression because they are going to "subscription" plans. Here's some of the low-down:
ReplyDelete"Meta is doubling down on its subscription offerings. On Wednesday, the social networking giant announced it’s now rolling out its consumer subscription plans globally for its flagship apps, Instagram, Facebook, and WhatsApp, and beginning tests of new subscriptions for businesses, creators, and Meta AI users.
For a few dollars per month, consumers subscribing to Instagram Plus ($3.99/mo), Facebook Plus ($3.99/mo), or WhatsApp Plus ($2.99/mo) will gain access to extra features, like profile customization, super reactions, and story insights, among other things."
Saw the fawn post. I laughed.
Please send the rain this way. We REALLY need it!
I had no clue you could mess with the font on FB. That's one more headache I don't need. Hope you can figure it out.
Have you thought about cloud storage? Or an external hard drive?
My week was...a week. Not much happened. Got paperwork prepped for Jake's surgery on Monday. The Kids' hotwater heater kicked the bucket--literally. It leaked into their living room. They've drained it, cut off the gas and Uncle Fix-It and LG will wrestle with it tomorrow. LG found a new one at an overstock place and is financing until the kids can pay him back. Baseball Boy is going to provide muscle, Uncle Fix-It expertise and LG moral support. 😆
I ordered grocery delivery from Wallyworld yesterday. I just couldn't make muself people. Jake knows something is up and he didn't want to people either.
I need to finish Ariel's Damn Book because I have an idea for a different book.
Not much else going on. It's hot and humid. I love my AC and ceiling fans. I made rotisserie chicken pasta salad last night. I don't really want to cook or heat up the kitchen. Is it nap time yet? 🙄
Looking forward to the pics tomorrow. Have a great weekend. Later, gator.
