Is it True? Does anybody else see me?

Is it True? Does anybody else see me?

Good Friday Morning!
At least it is trying to be...

And I am hoping that perhaps I am to be "FOUND" after all...

Maybe.
MayBe!!!
MAYBE?!?!

I have gotten a note from Yahoo; (seemingly too, a caring and intelligent person on the other end).
The note, asking for my patience.
Really, I am TRYING to locate THAT too.
I believe this is the 9th new support number that I have received. So hope and patience are both trying to abandon me...

Still I am 'hanging in there', so to speak.

The difference to me, being that this note came from their 'blog' customer care department; saying they had "seen a recent posting on a Yahoo! blog. This post stated you were having an issue with Yahoo! services."
The note concluded with, "We apologize for the frustration that this issue has no doubt caused and will do our best to find the cause."

Yes, I replied, and even received a reply to that note.

Oh PLEASE say this long wait is almost over.
Wouldn't it be nice???

Two of you, thus far, have told me that I have 'reappeared' on your friends lists. I thought maybe I would just put my replies within here...

************

Dear Sweet BonBon...
Most everything (else) is going well. And I hope the same is holding true for you also?
Believe me, I wish there was some way that anyone could/would be able to help me get my old blogs back too.

************

Sweet Nic!
I am thinking that "frustrated" really IS the very best word to be using.
(I am also thinking 'impotent' comes pretty close to how I feel when I write and write, and call and call, and seemingly no one understands nor offers to 'fix' me).
As for not having anything important to write about?
You are wrong about your comparison.
Simply because if you are alive, then you have something VERY important to be writing about.
And you, my friend, with ALL of your passions for living, are very much alive!

(Oh, and calling her a 'pussy' would have been stretching it, even for me and how I felt about her)...

************

Sweet RPD...
I'm not too sure, but it 'seems' that when this happens, and I hit the back arrow, my comment generally IS posted; even if it claims that it is not... (and yes, sometimes it takes upwards of 3 or 4 tries too).
But then again, I am a hard person to shut up if I think I have something important to say!
hehehe
How come everyone else got a new camera from Santa??? And not me???
I suffer the "pea green with envy" disease...
sigh.

************

Sweet PeachieBaby!
hehehe, I just HAD to write that!
Laughing at your comments disappearing right before your eyes!
Too funny!
But they will be back too. And I shall have to send you a quick comment... (if I can)!
And your blogs are there too.
When I'd posted yesterdays blog, Punks blog seemed to be gone; yet as I clicked on the blog itself, there was Punks, in its entirety.
I think when Yahoo made the decision NOT to 'fix' any current/new bugs, they did themselves a HUGE disservice.

************

Sweet BEEEEEEP!
Are you done beeping yet??? Hopefully it didn't go off last night...
I just checked your friends list, and didn't see "ANNA~ANNA" anywhere.
sigh
Bet I got removed before I even got found. Dang.
How the heck is that possible???? (Did you click on me then)?
But maybe they ARE making progress too.
I shall cross everything, squeeze my eyes shut, and pray like the dickens...
As far as Multiply goes, I have such a hard time reading blogs there. Just too many flashing things that set off my head BIGtime. But I promise to try again too.
I have always admired your soapbox Sweet Connie, so do not give it up for me.
You have chutzpah. And I like that in my friends!
"Clean" the yard only means to remove the snow before the next snowfall (or thaw) would happen. (Either could be disastrous if it is left alone with Mother Nature)...

5 tries! YAY!!! (Beats the heck out of 6)!

************

Sweet Lisa...
Your dogs called. Said since they are so good at 'fetch' that they would try to go fetch my missing blogsite for me.
I also went to your friends list, and was once again MIA.

Or are you two seeing something I'm not?
Hmmmm....

I love HOPE!

(It has been almost too long without it)!

Love.

Peace.

And right back at you all, The HAPPIEST New Year ever!

************

Have a WUNNAFUL Friday!

XOXO
Anne

And this, just received from Miss Chevy!!!

Round and Round and Round and...

Round and Round and Round and...

Hmmm... Can of worms stolen from my ORIGINAL BLOG...
Click here...

My little Can~O~Worms especially for Yahoo...

.

.

.

.

Good Morning!

As my morning looks here...

Towards the East as the sun breaks the horizon~

.

.

.

And toward the west, as that same sun casts its spell, breaking shadows of night

.

.

.

Yes, I know my yard needs more than a bit of attention.

Yet so do I.
Attention from Yahoo that is.

ya·hoo NOUN: pl. ya·hoos
A crude or brutish person. See Synonyms at boor.

ETYMOLOGY:
Yahoo, a member of a race of brutes in Gulliver's Travels by Jonathan Swift

OTHER FORMS:
yahoo·ism (Noun)
An unrefined, rude person: barbarian, boor, chuff, churl, Philistine, vulgarian.

boor
noun An unrefined, rude person: barbarian, chuff, churl, Philistine, vulgarian, yahoo. See good

SPANISH ya·hoo (yä, y-) s., pl. -hoos familiar bruto, bestia

I have found those definitions to be close enough for my taste right about now.

And yes, I have resorted to begging.
(And if they want me on my knees, I will go there too)...

I have written to, texted, blogged about, called, threatened, whined, cajoled and now begged for their attention.

Dear Freakin' Yahoo;

You have taken away my blog FOR NO GOOD REASON, and with NO explanation.
Please click here to see what I see when I try to open my original blog.

Or hey, please try either of these links:

http://blog.360.yahoo.com/blog-dpmNyxc.dbILPvAAWzZ3Tq.I9pxXBodPASLWCZE-?cq=1

http://360.yahoo.com/anna_loves_life

.

As for the many friends I had at that site, please mouse over this next line.

.....>[deleted]<<.....

That is how I appear to them within the comments I have left on their blogs.

I have written to Yahoo Answers, thinking that someone else might have gone through this same bunch of doo~doo.

So for the gal that got her undies in a twist when I had written to Yahoo Answers, I only have this to say.

Yes, I know that Y~360 is changing.
You are wrong to say it is closing, per se. Such is not the case.

And no, you ignorant pussturd, I will not die if I don't have access to my original blog.

A matter of life or death? Hardly.

A matter of keeping my daughters doctors and surgeons (at numerous hospitals), informed as to her medical problems and progressions?
Yes. It was/IS very important to all of us when THAT is taken into consideration.
You see, I have a child, 20, who will probably be needing a pancreatic transplant at some point, given the fact that she has Idiopathic Chronic Pancreatitis.

By 'losing' my original blog, Yahoo has very effectively removed the access that her doctors and surgeons had.

.

.

.

.

But you swear at me? How freakin' DARE you!
But I am glad that when I complained about your comment, Yahoo deleted it almost as quickly as I had reported you.

My daughter has had no less than 13 surgeries in the past few years. (In case you deem this UNimportant somehow).

Just this morning, I have received this note from Chevy when I had asked her to possibly send me the link to my MASH page.
(Yahoo has effectively 'lost' that too, as she told me I no longer appeared there either)!

No big deal. I hated Mash anyway. Too noisy and flashy for me.
Like Multiply is also. But it IS good that I have saved my thoughts there, in addition to printing my blogs out for the grandbabies...

Here is Chevys note after we had established that I was not to be found on Mash either.

Sent To: ANNA~2
RE: Huge favor
I don't blame you a bit for being upset, angry, pissed, sad, and whatever else you feel. We get so connected to people and places on the Internet. It's like pulling us out of our home. Yahoo once deleted my group that I had for 4 years. We had over 4,000 members and poof it was gone. Never did get it back! We formed a new group but it will never replace the old group where 4 years worth of people's lives and recipes were stored. I grieved for a long time for that group. It may sound silly to some but it was a part of my life.
They still have your blog somewhere! I did find out later that if I would have pushed the issue we might have gotten our group back because Yahoo doesn't actually delete anything for months. They simply change the URL. Hard getting through to them though!

How to get them to listen? Read? Comprehend?
Those are damn tall orders given my own experience with them as of late.

I received a phone call from Miss Marie last night. In this call, she informed me that she was getting all of my email returned to her when she sent it to either the "OnTheFarm" or "Anna_Loves_Life" accounts that I use.

Great!!!
..."NOT!"
And here I thought that everyone has just been too busy with the holidays, and recovery, to write, send, or even forward emails to me. I have, however, been receiving many SPAM messages within my inbox there.
I do wonder how they manage to get through?

Checking Caseys email account, there are some messages for her that seem to have gotten through.
(Remember, her own original blog pages are also missing).
She too has had to create a new email and BLOG.
CLICK HERE FOR HER NEW BLOG.

So it is not ONLY our blogs that have disappeared, but our emails lost in cyberspace somewhere. Maybe you also recall of my writing about Unca BoBBie, and how his own emails to me had gone missing... Mine to him apparently also gone somewhere. i can only imagine that his last weeks might have been terribly lonely and frustrating for him as he started his little laptop every day...

but who the hell cares?

Pleas fall on deaf, untrained and ignorant ears.
Comments made to the Yahoo 360 News Blog site are ignored. My most recent comment being left early this morning. (And oddly enough, I cannot even GET TO that blog anymore)? Maybe YOU can. Do click on the above and let me know.

Rumor Control?
How awful for you to have been bested by this farce. After all, it is YOUR own top page that reads: "This page is dedicated to the dissemination of accurate information to the Y/360 community through the transition period."

Yahoo 360 Rumor Control pages have been (ahem), 'ASSured' by Matt Warbutron that Yahoo reads ALL of the comments to their Y~360 news blog.
I am beginning to think that Mr. Warbutron is less than honest with a site that has only taken a lot of the pressure off of himself.
It also occurs to me that Mr. Warbutron does NOT have a child with an ideopathic, or chronic, disease.

About 3 months ago, I'd had a problem with Yahoo changing its email format, back to some prehistoric version of the mid 1990's.

.

Perhaps you remember that?

Perhaps you also remember it happening to me last month too?

Those two episodes being relatively simple for Yahoo to "fix".
Both times it was taken care of quite fast, with apparently no lasting, or lingering, problems.
(Or are there)?

I am sure I will have more to write about shortly.
Especially AFTER I print this out and also send it to Yahoo and AT&T.

I had heard that my complaint was sent to the Engineering Department. Apparently, they also have trouble comprehending and fixing problems.

Can I do better? Probably not.

But then again, that is what I have been paying Yahoo for, for the last ten years or so.
One day soon I shall have to figure out exactly how much I have $pent on such a shameful service.

Hope all is well with all of you.
Have a wunnaful day.

XOXO

ARF! for 2008!!!

ARF! for 2008!

Yup, it's me again, "Punk"!

Didja miss me?
Well, I did start to write yesterday morning... And my "she" was pretty sick with her head again. I had to attend to her, or I would have finished my blog. The little one took her in for a shot. I got to ride along too! ~And I only barfed once! I haven't done that for a while, and am thinking that as long as 'she' was that way, that I should be too. (I think she is better today).

I started to write, and then thought I might do a few pictures...

And I went ALL the way back to January 1st of 2007...
It was so warm, (almost 50), and we had taken a walk to the woods. We still had no snow to play in, so I had to find something to play in...

.

I found the river!

.

.

And even tried to catch a fish!

.

.

.

I didn't last too long in there, but I sure had fun!

.

Once I get dried off at home, Mama Milly comes indoors too!

.

Mostly we behave...

.

And then it is time for my nap!

.

I love my naps!

.

.

Later on that same month was the little ones birthday!
They took lots of pictures, but I didn't even get a doggie bag!!!

..

First, the little ones friend Jenny Mella comes over and they get ready.

.

Jenny is LOTS of fun too.
('Cept she sat on my friend Sputty once).

.

"She" and that little guy, Gabriel!

.

Zoe and "Sassy" at The Olive Garden too!

.

.

There is ALWAYS lots of work to do...

.

And I help when I can too!

.

'She' started to trim the shrub,
and I pulled the tangled branches out.

.

.

.

A hard job, but I manage.
(Alone too).

.

Mama Milly is NO help.

.

She just sits and watches me!

.

Even AFTER I brought her a branch...
Maybe when I am 11 or 12 I can just sit and watch too.
But for now I am having fun.

.

.

I make a really big pile too!

.

Mama Milly just watches AGAIN...

.

.

.

But then it is time for my nap!

.

Did I tell you I love my naps??

.

.

The next month came, and really, I got LOTS of naps. It was so cold and snowy that it hurted my paws to play outside too long...

But we STILL got to take walks. Just shorter ones.

.

.

.

Mama Milly calls me a wimp when it snows,
cuz HER paws don't get too freezie like mine...

.

Mama hollers at me all the time!
But I hear tell that that is what Mamas are s'posed to do.

.

The other little one,
the WART,
got sick and went to the hospital to get her gallbladder out.

She died.
~Something about a 'vegas' nerve?
(But after about 20 minutes her heart was beating good all over again)!
YAY!
Oops, I mean "ARF" !!!

(She really didn't know any better)...

.

BUT, she was well enough to come home the next day even!

.

We played inside LOTS...

The little boy had a problem lifting the black bar...

.

.

.

So I showed him HOW it was done...

.

.

.

.

.

.

But then ONE of us dropped it on the Warts foot...

.

OUCH!
Er, I mean "ARF"

.

.

And so Mama Milly and I both had to take a nap.
I love naps!!!!
(Mama Milly, not so much)...

.

Besides, she usually naps out in the entrance when its so cold.

.

.

.

She even gets a blanket sometimes!

.

.

The little boy Gabriel has his own blanket too.
He can nap where ever he wants to...

.

Sometimes he even falls asleep on the floor!

.

.

.

Sometimes as soon as he is done eating...

..

.

.

My little one naps too...

.

Cuz lots of times she doesn't feel too good...
And then she won't play with anybody.

.

.

Some days she feels real good.

.

And other days...

.

she REALLY feels no pain!!!

.

.

.

...Even when she SHOULD be feeling it!
hehehe

.

Sometimes we go to a big place in Milwaukee called Froedtert.
This year we went about 5 times...
Those pics were taken there after one of her nasty surgeries.

.

.

.

.

Sometimes she makes herself be in pain too!
hehehe
Yes, she was riding that trike!

.

It was kinda hot that day.
And when it gets too hot, I get into my pool.

.

.

And it cools me right off!

.

.

I like the flowers too! They are all over the place!

.

Just not anymore cuz it's snowing AGAIN!!!

.

.

.

See what I mean???

.

And just like last year,
maybe Mama Milly and I can get some more "quality time"
TOGETHER!!

That's me, on the right.
My mama is kinda cute too...

.

.

And so, from BOTH of us, we would like to wish for you...

A VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

.

.

A whole year full of your bowl being at least half full.

A whole year to be warm.

A whole year to be happy.

A whole year of flowers.

A whole year to be loved.

A whole year that nobody EVER has to go to the vet.

A whole year to be kind to everyone you meet and know.

A whole year of smiles.

A whole year of peace within.

And a whole year of being surrounded by those that love you!

A whole year of "quality".

A whole year of "enough".

AND,

A whole year of getting your naps at the right time too!

.

.

.

Mama Milly and ME too!

.

Here's a big "ARF" to start 2008 off right!!!

Love Always,
The Punk!

~~~

...time for my nap...

.

PS
My 'she' just came in from the cold. Said it's supposed to get really cold now.
Sheesh.
She also said to tell you that she has received word that 'maybe' she will be getting her old blog back. The note said something about the "engineering" department finally getting her complaint...
(maybe a just a teeny~weeny prayer then for that)?

Of Course...

In answer to the top page question in my quick comments...
YES, it definitely IS my picture as my new background.

.

Good Morning All;

I took that picture on one of our walks to the woods... (And before this latest storm dumped an extra half a foot of snow there too).

I still have no news about my old blog, and the process of restoring it to its original values etc. I have been reading around a bit too; maybe a connection to a friend here or there, and who knows what may happen.

So as NOT to be misunderstood, I always explain everything about this 'event' on an 8~year~old level so that there should be no questions about any part of this problem with 360.

And somehow along the way, I at least got a computer generated response.
Check this out...
Note: What I would LOVE to say back to them is italicized...

Hello, Thank you for writing to Yahoo! 360.
You're welcome! It is only the 1000th time I have tried to contact a living human being...

Thank you for your report of this issue.
What issue?
Which one???
DID YOU EVEN READ ABOUT MY "ISSUE"?

Due to the recent announcement on transitioning Yahoo! 360, the development team is focusing all of its resources on building a new universal Yahoo! Profile with blogging solutions which we are certain will delight you.

Because we are focusing our efforts on the new solution, this bug will not be resolved prior to the transition of Yahoo! 360.
How can you possibly transition something that you have lost???

You will be able to find regular updates here: http://blog.360.yahoo.com/product_360

***(REALLY MAD now)...
See, I cannot even get into my original 360~Land, not to visit anyPLACE there of;
(this includes this link, Dummy).
Does 'page cannot be displayed' error mean anything to you?

Keep in mind, there is still a lot of work to be done!
You bet your sweet dupa there is...

We will do our best to provide you the most current details through the 360 Blog.
Please see previous complaint about you NOT reading my stupid complaint!

Thank you for your understanding and patience during this transition.
Patience?
WTF is that?
I think I might have had a bit on December 18th or so...

Best regards, Yahoo! 360 team.

Thank you again for contacting Yahoo! 360.

Regards, Jordan Yahoo! 360 Customer Care
Jordan, it is obvious that you neither read, nor comprehend; how the hell did you get your job???

.

Gee, have I NOW violated any TOS???
I know, I know, I never have before, but it is getting WAY hard to continue to explain this and maintain a calm facade.
(Especially when all I want to do is thwack~n~thwump someone upside the head repeatedly).

Dog help me, I do not deal well with stupidity.
...Unless it makes me laugh...

As I am already WAY behind today, I need to keep this short(er) for now.
The game is at noon, and I have to run to the store. (That is, if my blood pressure goes down well enough to even enable my Xanax to work)...

Hope you are all having a 'Stupid~Free' weekend!

XOXO
Anne

Speaking of "stupidity", and with respect to my blast today...
