Yesterday I decided to go through my blog list and weed out the few that no longer publish.....well, I was surprised at just how many there were, I didn't count them before deleting, but it must have been a couple of dozen I should think. One or two had stated their intention to stop blogging, but the majority have just disappeared, with no word. So that leaves us wondering what happened. I suppose if something had happened to the blog holder, then it's possible their partner/family either didn't know about their blog or didn't know how to access it - I know my husband wouldn't be able to access mine - even if he did know how to, his dyslexia would prevent him writing anything.
I know I no longer write on my other two blogs - the cardmaking one and the food one - I do still make cards occasionally, and of course I cook! But writing three blogs was just too much for me to keep up, so I just stick to this one now. But never say never, I might start writing on them again at some point in the future.
I don't know what was up with husband yesterday, but he was like a bear with a sore head - snapping at both the dog and me just for breathing. He insisted he was fine and denied being irritable, so I just left him to it in the end, after requesting that he please stop shouting at Betty as it was making her anxious. He said he didn't have angina (he rarely tells me if he has, I have to ask when I notice the signs and encourage him to use his GTN spray) and wasn't worrying about anything.....perhaps he was just tired, I don't know. Hopefully he'll have got out of it today, or else tell me what's wrong.
A quiet week to come - Betty has to go to the vet for a check up on Thursday, following her latest ear infection. Husband is going out for brunch with his best mate on Friday.....I might get him to drop me off at the supermarket first, so I can have the solo coffee treat I missed out on last week, and then do a bit of shopping. I so rarely get the opportunity to do any shopping or go for a coffee by myself.
I wonder too, sometimes. I think I ought to do the same thing and delete the dormant accounts but I wonder what's happened to them too.
ReplyDeleteHopefully Him Out will be far more settled today. xx
He seems to be, so far so good xx
DeleteWhat is it with men? Why don't they share what they're feeling? I can't decide if it's upbringing (boys don't cry) or a macho thing. Either way, for those of us living with them, it's a pain in the butt! I hope he's better today. A solo coffee and a mooch round the supermarket sounds good. If your husband is like mine, he can spend ages looking at what he wants, but if I want to look at something he's rushing me on. xx
ReplyDeleteI'm sure you and I are married to the same man, K! xx
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry your hubby was bent on being unpleasant! Makes for a miserable day! Me and mine have been married for 50 years just this past September...It's been a rocky affair but we've always managed to keep it straight. We love each other...but I now refuse to put up with bullheadedness from him and he knows it. He's Never yelled at our furrbabies though...or he'd find himself running for cover! lololol
ReplyDeleteI'm 71 and he's 75...Life is too darn short to be unhappy so, we decided to stop all the silliness and to just say what's true and laugh more often. SO much more fun.
I love your post...and am a new follower!
Big hug
Donna
Welcome Donna!
DeleteI deleted loads of blogs from my list but should probably do it again.
ReplyDeleteIt's a puzzle and a shame, isn't it Cherie?
DeleteI apologise; I'm one of those bloggers who stopped without warning or explanation. It was at a time when I had problems with my deteriorating eyesight. Due to Covid, we were told to stay in home. Also I had a lot of stress. Basically, things have gone downhill from then and I lost my blogging mojo. I no longer go out (no dog to walk) so there's nothing to blog about. I'm a hermit! Still missing the companionship of my doggy mate and no close family. It's a lonely life but I have online friends through a private forum and through following several friendly blogs.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry you lost your doggy and had deteriorating sight problems. You always have friends here.
DeleteHello Rambler, I've missed your blog and am sorry to hear about Benji. Take care xx
DeleteSometimes men just have those sort of days and nothing we or the animals do is right. I just tell Alan exactly what to do if he's like that with me, and then leave him to his own company ... taking the furry kids with me. Usually he tells me later what was up.
ReplyDeleteI need to check through my main blog following list and delete all those that have stopped blogging. Although in the past I have also deleted my own blogs, which was a bit of a shame.
I miss those that no longer blog and there are a few that have passed on that at least husbands or children let their followers know about. I really have to clean my list up as well.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
