Tag Archives: putting chicken to sleep

Psst, chicken…

Psst, chicken…

I’m a chicken whisperer.

SOUND asleep.

Aside…

I just wrote a whole long post about the first chick of 2019, “forgot” to ctrl-C the whole thing and just hit publish, and it’s all lost. 403 error. This happens, oh, about every 5-8 times I try to post, and has been going on for months. Usually, I remember to ctrl-A and ctrl-C just in case, but when I forget to, it’s sure to fail. There’s fine print at the bottom of the writing window that will tell you “failed to save”, if you think to check it.

It’s like the 1990’s when email would do this to you when you hit send. Oops, gone! No draft, no back button.

Usually I just bite the rage, sometimes angrily going through the help maze to “chat” with “help” (No. help.), and quickly retype the whole post while it’s still bright in my mind.

I’ve blogged on WP for ten years? It never did this sh*t until I started paying for the extra features (when something is semi-functioning for free, hey, you live with it). Lucky me I paid for the privilege of a non-functioning photo editor, the random total disappearance of the contents of my right sidebar one day, crap customer service, and a rage-inducing experience on the reg. I’m building a robust antipathy to logging in to blog. WP is on the downhill slope of the curve now. Jump ship! The cracks are appearing.

Tonight, I’m too tired to retype the chick story, so it has to wait until I simmer down, and I’m too frustrated to even make my rant funny:(

GRRRRRrrrrrrrrrr.

I hate wordpress so much

May Day resolutions – So much has happened in April (a three season month), and I took bunches of pictures, but I wasn’t posting much. I’m going to make a stab at catching up with all the fun happens this month (although events may have occurred earlier than they appear).

Welcome:

Happy Harvest Farm is Selka and H.W., who are thrilled to be living in Nova Scotia since May, 2014, and are beginning to establish a home and garden on the old farmstead and orchard. This blog also reflects the previous years' path to getting here.

We are all about: being healthy, alternative transportation and building, living simply, frugally, and independently, and finding ways to make a positive contribution to community and the world.

H.W. is passionate about bicycling and he writes here sometimes about bikes and bicycling.

Sometimes I swear.
