If You’re Having WordPress Issues, Contact, Contact, And Contact Again

June 21, 2023June 21, 2023 Looking for the Light15 Comments

Are you having a problem with your WordPress site you are not alone and if luck you may get the issue fixed. Contact the Happiness Engineers every day, and contact them over and over until your issues are solved.

This is a similar post to what I’ve written about before, it’s a new problem that showed up yesterday. This is why Fortune 500 companies use the best practices for programmers by doing changes and updates offline. When programming is done live in the working with core systems, a fiasco continues almost daily.

My beef started on 5/11/2023 when the programmers jump in to make a change to the Reblog Sytems changes, I’ve had so many issues with bugs in the system, bugs that pop up before the original question I get answered.

WordPress has a bad reputation and I may have to share some articles with media and social media to see if WP gets the point.

I don’t want to leave WP, I want them to do their job, in a high-quality manner that services Bloggers.

Test Post for WordPress

June 20, 2023 Looking for the Light9 Comments

I’ve been in heavy conversation with WordPress since 5/11/23 when they started on the Oh-So important Reblog changes. I hope this last post will give me the answer I need and no longer have to spend hours a day communicating with WordPress.

Thank you for hanging in while I work out my problems with WordPress.

I pray they get the sytem bugs worked out and then leave the process alone.

Have A Chronic Illness? Take Control By Shaving Your Head

June 19, 2023September 28, 2024 Looking for the Light9 Comments

*This post is from 2017 and I’ve updated it to capture the years between 2017 and 2023.

There are times when Chronic Illness can get the better of you. I had such a week resulting in shaving my hair off. I’m no GI Jane but do have a nice head minus the scars from brain surgery.

For the past 13 years, I’ve been a caregiver to my grandparents and spent time in Psychic Hospital twice for ECT treatments. Finding an answer to my heart problem took three years, two cardiologists, and a trip to The Mayo Clinic I had a diagnosis in four days.

The search for ?? (Lyme Diseases) started in 2012 and the diagnosis in 2014. It took two attempts to find a competent doctor and tons of frustration. I’m not driving, my cognitive abilities like balance and memory were taken by Lyme.

Last week I discovered a total knee replacement is required and scheduled for 11/14/17. All the falls from Lyme blew out my right knee.

I’m not one to have a pity party but the weight on my shoulders became too much. I gave my husband many reasons why I shaved my head, the truth is CONTROL. I have four chronic illnesses and have to manage my health every day and every day can be different. There are many days I don’t have the strength to bathe, on those days I use medical-grade body wipes.

I’m 54, my mental illness is close to balanced, was looking forward to driving after several years, and most importantly I want to know who I am.

Shaving my head was liberating, a part of the new me came out. I can control some things and have to roll with the punches on others.

Can you imagine coming home from work to find your wife has shaved their head? My husband wasn’t surprised.

Happy Father’s Day Gramps

June 18, 2023 Looking for the Light2 Comments

My Gramps was the one they broke the mold on, he was the calmest, help anyone in need, and family’s first type of man and he worked hard.

I was a previous drug addict, alcoholic, and an out-of-control teen when I went to live with my grandparents. Gramps was a year from retirement so he was about 62 years old, he looked forward to fishing and playing dominos every day. Now there’s a 14-year-old living with them, not something either of us expected.

They raised me with tough love, the Greatest Generation way. I had so many rules to follow and I did not want to disappoint my grandparents by breaking them.

I didn’t realize he was not my biological grandfather until about 8 or 9 years old. Granny and I were talking and I said why is Gramp’s name different than my father’s. I was crushed at first then realized how fortunate I was to have him in my life. He was the only father I had, my father created trauma in my life and I had little to do with him.

If only everyone had someone like my Gramps in their life.
