I'm still working on the present problem. so this is just to give you a heads up on what's not happening sometimes. I'm having problems getting to the comment window in some blogs. So some people will be missing comments from time to time. I will try my est to sort this out.
Today was a very bad day on my computer all day. I could access only a few sites. the others said not available or some expression. I found that I had to adjust some of the advanced Internet settings. It's the first time I had to do such a thing.
So when problems show up you usually have to learn something new.
I think I may have used some of these in old posts. but I did get them from my ipad to my desk top!

| Why do selfies exaggerate your nose? |
Those are really good selfies! And just a tad of info: selfies are taken at close range and this leads to facial distortions and exaggerations, particularly for your nose or chin.
ReplyDeleteWell thanks. I was actually playing around with the new ipad.
DeleteLooking good Red
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteSelfies exaggerate MY nose, too! That's one reason I don't post many of them. Hmmm... have you tried rebooting? A different browser? Is the problem the same anyway? Curious, I must say. You are commenting on my posts, so that sure does make me wonder what the difference is.
ReplyDeleteIt seems like the long posts are the ones I can't comment on. I was experimenting with the new ipad for these .
DeleteHello Red, Nice selfies. (Interesting... Selfie is such a new word ... it shows up as a misspelling in my spell checker ... how do I update that? Ha ha.) I wish I could help you with the problem on getting to sites. You are so right ... It always seems like there is something new to deal with. Sure enjoy your stories on your blog. Have a good week. John
ReplyDeleteI'll just have to hope things fix themselves. I was wondering if anybody else had the same problem It only happens on very long posts.
DeleteI just happened to notice in that first photo your reel-to-reel recorder. How I wish I still had mine. Those machines were awesome. What kind of music do you like?
DeleteMy reel tape hasn't worked for 30 years. They dry up and the rollers flatten when they're not used. The only tape I value is my wedding. I have a wide variety of music I listen to. I don't like modern country of rap. After that anything is a go.
DeleteI am always amazed at the bravery a selfie takes. We never look like we really look! Your nose looks fine to me. I do want to hang more art work on that wall behind you! ;-)
ReplyDeleteThis gets back to my previous post on reality. I think what we think we look like is different from what we really look like. I'm trying to get rid of stuff so that I can manage when I have to move.
DeleteI think I have identified the cause of your computer problems Red. You are on a secret service blacklist in Ottawa and your online activities are being closely monitored. This is simply because you are the spitting image of Herman T. Konchelsky a dangerous secret agent from Eastern Europe who also has a normal sized nose!
ReplyDeleteSounds good to me. Our family came from central Europe so that makes sense.
Deletelaughing at the nose comment. mine's big enough as it is. :) good luck with the computer issues! wondering if you use google chrome. it works best with blogger since they're in the same family. :)
ReplyDeleteI use google chrome. Most of the time we get along.
DeleteHope you get your glitch straightened out. Your nose looks fine...they say your nose never stops growing:)
ReplyDeleteWow! That's interesting that noses keep on growing.
DeleteSorry about your internet trouble. I don't do selfies they exaggerate my double chin. Hope you get your troubles fixed soon.
ReplyDeleteMy problem is only with very long blogs.
DeleteYou look Red. I have a small nose normal but I too have my nose big. Ha-ha. It matches my personality.
ReplyDeleteJust call me Nosy. I have google Chrome which I have no choice as I am not going to buy windows 7 nor 8.
As Windows xp has been disconected off. As I use windows xp. So I have to fool about also and I know some people are fed up with me and dont bother to even bother coming to me. What can you do. The smart ones who are computer smart will get to you. So With two people who helped me . I got turned about. You will work it out. It takes time. For a month I could not even use Youtube. Do you defrag your computer every week that gives you more space. and do you delete your in mails, and your sent. That I had to do. Plus I notice that some people have huge pictures on there blogs as big as there screen. It takes me so long to get in and comment. As most of there blogs each day are more then huge. So I have to take them off my list. I mentioned to them the problem. They ignore so then nothing I can do.
I'm running on Vista and it is being phased out so isn't kept up. I only have trouble commenting on the very long blogs.
DeleteYour selfies are great! I don't do selfies as they make me look like a woman in her seventies!! :)
ReplyDeleteYou don't want to look like your in your seventies. That would never do.
DeleteI wonder if it could be the browser.... google chrome seems to be much better for setting posts up for me.
ReplyDeleteYour pics remind me of my dad.
I use chrome. My problem is with the very long posts.
DeleteYou have a great nose. I always wished mine were bigger. Among other things.
ReplyDeleteI won't touch this one!!!
DeleteSometimes I think Google yanks us around until we do everything their way. On the other hand, it might be a good idea to run a virus check. If all else fails.. call in the kid next door. ;)
ReplyDeleteAnd I like your selfies.
I'm ok for virus. My problem is when somebody has a very long post.
DeleteLove these photos of you, Red. As for portraits, it's all in the angle and distance, I believe. That's always been my case. All these computer glitches keep us thinking, and our brains healthy, if not aggravated.
ReplyDeleteOur arms aren't long enough for selfies. Yes computers are a challenge. My new camera has a movable screen so you can see the screen when you take a selfie.
DeleteHandsome chap, aren’t you.
ReplyDeleteRotten Google, they do mess us about. Sometimes I want to throw my computer at them.
Well of course I'm handsome!!! Computers can do their own thing at times.
DeleteToo bad about the computer problems. I need to take my laptop in to be looked at, but I'm just afraid the guy is going to say, "Get a new one".
ReplyDeleteNice selfies!
My problem is only with very long posts. Good luck with your laptop.
DeleteI share your frustration with the computer, mine has been mucking around lately and defeated even my 16 year old grand-daughter who says, "Don't know what you have done to it!" So I'm not just frustrated but made to feel guilty as well. I'm waiting to remember how I fixed it last time it did this but might have to give in and admit defeat. Nice selfies, I avoid them, am happier to live with how I think I look, rather than face that sort of reality.
ReplyDeleteYes, the remembering what I did last time is a challenge. I use the help but sometimes they tell you to do something and I have no idea what it means.
DeleteI too noticed some blogs didn't have the comment section. And I just cuss about lack of internet service out here. Cameron's cell phones been acting crazy too! Maybe solar flares? That's my answer! :)
ReplyDeleteI don't like taking selfies. Mine always look so fake!
Your selfies are great!
Cheri
My problem it with posts the are very long. You guys in the country have a bigger challenge the we have.
DeleteRed, Sorry for the delay the internet has been very intermittent here for a bout a week.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe you still persevere with Vista. It was the worst OS from Windows by a long way. XP was little better but Windows 7 is as good as it gets. I have yet to meet anyone other than tablet users who like Windows 8.
Many of your problems are Browser issues and not OS issues. Old Browsers have trouble with handling modern web pages. Computing is not a buy and forget job it's a matter of continuous upgrading and being aware of where problems lie.
It is not cheap. The new generation of Graphics processors are in the thousands of dollars. What you get for that is the ability to create a cartoon or virtual reality film as good as anything that Disney have made and on a laptop with a few fast external hard drives. What you don't get is the ability to use this software and hardware. That is why there will always be artists.
Mac books solve the problem but not the expense in that they are not upgradeable with any ease. They don't have the physical room inside them for a start.
It takes me a while but sooner or later I figure out that it's browser stuff. Also scans used to fool me. For what I do Vista is adequate. I realize that vista had lots of holes in it.t
DeleteOhh boy you look just like my uncles up in Quebec Canada!!amazing!Just need the fiddle :))))
ReplyDeleteohh my mother told me alot of stories from that time:))))
I dont have any troubles with blogs or internet.May you should try out your settings..i quess you already have done:)))May be the people you visit have moved the comment thing?
i dont now but sometimes internet is a TROLL :))))
Wish you a happy day from Norway
Anita
To be specific my problem is with large posts. hey Quebec's a great place. I lived in Northern Quebec for 2 years.
DeleteBlogger often acts up for unknown reasons. Good selfies sir - you could give Mr. Clooney a run for his money :)
ReplyDeleteYou're right about blogger misbehaving.
DeleteSelfies are always made a bit too close from the face, unless you have some very looooong octopus arms.
ReplyDeleteSome people like me never learn.
ReplyDeleteP.s. I did not rcv comment from you today but have been all along, so your comments are being rcvd at my place 😀
ReplyDeleteGosh you are witty, aren't you? I know all of your readers appreciate you!
ReplyDeleteI love these pics! :) I do so enjoy your blog, even though sometimes I get behind and have to catch up on several posts at once (like today!0
