Hours I have spent searching browsers, settings, google, everywhere instructions tell me to go.
Not all Privacy & Security settings are the same.
In each browser there are settings. There is suppose to be one for cookies. The only browser where I have found a clearly labeled cookie setting feature is in Safari. Once I shut off rejecting cookies, I can add photos to Blogspot.
In celebration:
Week before last I felt a sliver of cool air while sitting on the porch that right away made me think, that’s autumn on the way.
I don’t want to feel that way. I like the warm weather so much that hot is good with me. I am beginning to think that moving south is a real option. Me, a die hard 4 season person, thinking of giving up bear sightings for watch out for snakes and alligators is a major shift. Who am I? 😱😳
Have you ever been typing a blog post, clicked on another tab, and forgot you were posting? When I read some other blogs, I get up and cook a meal before finishing what I was reading. Must be there’s a cyber universe thats wobbles into reality and back again.
Lots going on here arrangement wise. I question why am I creating more messes when there’s already so many to choose from. The positive side is that along my way, I find more things to donate. Today I dropped off some clothes.
Anyway, the apple crates I bought are perfect for a shelf unit to store art supplies. The hitch is that in order to fasten it to the board on wheels. I have to empty the bookshelf that’s on the board. Another mess create.
I am getting use to fall not far away with as much enthusiasm as I have for getting use to moving things around every other week.
An additional note about my adding photos to my blog dilemma:
Using Firefox the first time, the Allow cookies notice appeared, and I was able to post a photo.
I logged out and back again. Google has shut that down like it did with another browser. The Allow cookies option doesn’t appear now. That is proof to me Google is the problem.
Update: On Safari I found the cookie setting!

| Left hand, note at wrist the curve, my hand looks crooked. Right under wrist line is where the break is on the left side of arm When swelling goes down? it will look straight again. Flakey skin happens when splint is taken off. My fingernails are so long they look fake. 🤣 |
I’ve been limping for years. The knee injections don’t last or give me much relief. The pain relief cream isn’t forever. So I caved. I had my first knees’ evaluation exam. One knee looks rather grim.
Before I need a wheelchair, I think a knee replacement is a good idea. Maybe next spring after I lose weight and tone up with strength exercises. Thankfully, 4 people I know have had excellent results with the same orthopedic surgeon.
On a happy note, I am glad to report I lost the weight I set as a goal to reach in order to have birthday cake. I’m going to probably make it myself because it has been years since I baked a real cake. A maple walnut cake with coffee icing sounds nice. After losing 90% of my sense of taste from the 2022 covid booster, the memory of such a cake* will be wonderful to feed.
* Noting, the cake can wait. There’s ingredients I need to buy as well as a cake pan. 😂

| Using Firefox browser, the Allow option appears when I click photo icon. It is Google that controls blogspot settings. Whatever setting it is that Google is using to block adding photos to my blog, despite reading the instructions, has yet to be found by me. |

Have an Uplifting Weekend
At the moment my mind is boggling around the estimate to replace my vehicle key fob. The replacement has to be done by a dealership or locksmith. You can buy a key fob and have it programmed by dealership or locksmith. There are varying reviews about the success of having that done. Best case is to have the dealership do the replacement.
The estimated cost to replace my vehicle key fob at a Volkswagen dealership is $449.00 US dollars. Yes, four-hundred and forty US dollars. 😱
$180.00 for the key fob, $180.00 to program the key fob plus $80.00 per hour labor. I said no, that is too expensive.
I haven’t called a locksmith yet to learn the cost of a new fob being programed.
My key fob works, no problem there. The spring mechanism that holds the blade sprung, separates blade from the fob. I can glue it in or fix the spring myself by watching a YouTube tutorial. Yes, a free YouTube tutorial.
$440.00 US dollars for a car key makes zero sense to me.
Suggestion. When you buy a vehicle, insist on 2 keys, and maybe a third.
Update: My solution is to watch the YouTube instructions to take the battery and circuit board from the old fob, and transfer them to my new key fob. I’ve read no programming is requires when transferring to a new fob case.
