Well, I sure hope that all my readers and fellow blogging friends had a most wonderful Thanksgiving Day with their family members and friends. I know I sure did.
As if we did not get enough yesterday, we have proceeded today to overfill our stomach capacity with leftover turkey and dressing and all the additions that make this holiday what it is. Thankful for lots of food, family, friends, and a heavy dose of football.
I know the weekend is not even here yet, so.................
In any matter, I just wanted to have a shoulder to whine on for a second. As you have probably gathered from a few posts ago, Blogger and I have gone the rounds trying to figure out why I can't access and post from my previous "Not Shutdown" blog site, and, why I had to begin anew here. I have finally given up on the confusion and am trying to incorporate some of the old into the new.
The good news is: Do not change your current blog link. Blogger says I can do what I want from here, "Forever" as long as they have a online status!.........................................................
However, I do want to note that if you look at my picture header, you will see I have re-established the name of this blog to "The Pond Stalker". Does that ring a bell?
Anyway, if you feel inclined too you could change the blog name on your BlogRolls to "The Pond Stalker" which will require you to take a minute to edit I know.
****Just don't change the link, please.
When you have been around the blogging scene as long as I have, you begin to think your invincible. Blogger has demonstrated to me that I am not!!!!
They have their opinion and I have mine....
Wow, not more Pumpkin Pie, now..............................
So, most, if not all of you who read my blog posts know that following me around requires a road map sometimes.............
Back in the late Spring and early Summer, I began writing from a new blog address. It was titled Fishin4Walter. I had made a few posts and it was up and running. I had notified a bunch of my BlogBuddies that would be where they could find me.
Well, sometimes things don't go quite as expected. A number of personal family issues cropped up that required all of my time if they were going to be dealt with. Blogging would have to take a back seat. So I stopped blogging! I figured I would just start up again when the time was right and everything would go like clockwork. I know others who have had similar experiences, so, I figured it won't be any big deal.
Three months or so past and the family needs were back under control and I was ready to hit the blogging trail again!
Not quite so fast there, Gramps! Somehow, someway, my blog had disappeared.......
Well, at least, my access had disappeared to the above link to my blog...... Hmmm........
Try as I might to re-access my blog, apparently, Blogger had a different idea. That old blog link is no longer registered in my name. Therefore, nothing can be added at that website!
So, that is how most of you ended up back here. I had to develop a new Blogger account, and, start a new blog. Obviously, that meant a new blog title and address. I was thinking, ok, I will just start a new Fishin' 4 Walter blog and move my old posts over to the new address.
Blogger folks said, "NO". That title is not available and has been archived!
So..... here we are at Gramps Fishing Journal. I sincerely apologize to all my blogging friends for creating such a runaround scenario. Blogger has convinced me that I must be at fault somewhere.
Well, as you can see, I don't take to being told "NO" well. With that said, although I cannot add to my old blog, I certainly don't have any problems going there and copying "MY" posts and bringing some of them over here. So watch for them. You may have read them before, but, a refresher read won't hurt you. I will not bring over all the comments. So if you have time don't hesitate to leave a comment anew.
I will show them they can't keep an Old Dog down.............................................
