Come Monday...Invalid? Me?

“Come Monday…” is a weekly series that will involve a review of, or commentary about, websites, movies, documentaries, television shows, sports, music, and whatever else may tickle my fancy at the time. Be assured that these reviews will be generally positive, as in accordance to the Jimmy Buffett song “Come Monday.” This is subject to change, however. In fact, I would be most derelict in my duties to neglect going on a rant every once in a while. For rants promote change, and change can be good—right? Therefore, since good is generally considered as being a positive force in 99.3% of the parallel universes that I am aware of, even a rant could be considered as being something positive, and a genuine hissy-fit would be even better (so I’m told).

My normal daily schedule is to crawl out of bed somewhere between 4 PM and 9 PM, interact with my wife and her mother (who lives with us) until they go to bed, go online a little after midnight to provide my adoring fans with their daily fix of me here and there, and after completing my daily [Adgitize] and [Entrecard] chores, I crawl back into bed somewhere between 4 AM and 10 AM. For my wife works from home on her work computer, which is located in the same room as our home one is, and with me being an invalid for all intents and purposes, it is better for all involved for me to stay out of the way as much as possible.

Considering the fact that it is now around 10:30 AM my time, it should be rather obvious that things have changed, and much of that has to do with my son coming to live with us for a while. For after not having any contact with him for around 15 years, I have wanted to spend as much time with him as possible, and this has thrown my delicate sensibilities for a loop.

Compounding my current dilemma was finding out that a Google server or two somewhere out there considered my password to be invalid yesterday morning. This left me unable to leave any comments anywhere—not even here on my own blog!

Oh yeah, I was on the verge of a state of panic, and I changed my password after the thought came through that the problem may be the result of someone trying to hack into my account. Nope, that one was no more valid than the first one.

After I googled for an answer five or six times, I finally found one. Evidently, the problem was on the Google side of the equation, and changing one’s password just made things worse. #$&%!!!

Just in case you are somewhat confused by my play on the word, invalid, the first part of this was addressing me being an in-va-lid in a physical sense. For I have felt like I have had a fairly severe case of the flu since 1993, and there’s a lot more to it than that. Whereas, the second part was addressing my Google account password being considered in-val-id (as in being the wrong one) for some reason or another.

Thankfully, I was suddenly able to leave comments around eight hours later, but the damage was already done. For I was not able to notify those who were included in [yesterdays] special edition Thinking of Christmas Gifts in July Sites To See until several hours after it was already up, and I did not get all of my “work” done until around 8 PM, which has put this post way behind schedule.

On the other hand, it is arguable that sending out those notices late didn’t really matter. For it is not at all unusual for way less than half of those included in a regular [Sites To See] or [A Sunday Drive] to offer any sort of a response at all, and it is about the same for even special edition features.

No, it is not that I am posting these pieces in order to generate some appreciation, but it is rather disappointing to find so very many who see nothing wrong with ignoring something that has been done for their benefit just because they didn’t ask for it in the first-place. Of course, is this not what our Heavenly Father has been enduring all of this time?
