stop with the madness

Does anybody else remember a simpler time in the Land of Google when Gmail was just Gmail and we weren't linked within an inch of our life in an attempt to start a fricking account? Sweet mother, they make it difficult.

And what's with all this new Google+ nonsense? Wasn't Original Google good enough? Can anybody say New Coke? I don't want to 'connect with others.' That's what my blog is for, Google Masters. I don't need a detailed new profile so that its easier for 'others to find me.' That's what Facebook is for. And who are these 'others' that I keep hearing about? I'm an alcoholic for crissakes. It was nothing but wreckage and hell from age 16 to 30. I'm not looking for the others and they sure as hell aren't looking for me.

I consider myself fairly tech savvy and have been living in the Land of Blogger via its mistress Google for many years now. But even I have to admit that enough is enough.

That is all.

Amen! I want to be honest in my blog but I want to be anonymous. I live in fear that if I accept some new feature in google that I'm some how going to end up connected to who knows what or who knows whom! It is getting crazy!

Ya know Kristin? I can't help but wonder if 'money' and 'power' are not behind all the Google changes.

Lotta Peeps are switching to TypePad, I never like commenting on their blogs because of filling our info forms each time. HOWEVER, I've never used it. Any experience yourself?

Me too, I don't--SURE don't--want to re-new high school and college crap 'friends'. MY friend was a bottle, pure and simple.

NOW my friends are God, and all you Peeps, especially the recovering ones!

Hope you are A-OK, girl!
Love and PEACE!

Every one who knows where I am...I told them.
I don't want anyone "finding" me.
I'm not lost.

Yes, everything is hyper linked now. I still get by. Takes a bit of finagling though.

Leah said...

I changed the email associated with my blog. Now I have 2 gmail accounts.

It's a nightmare. I have to keep 2 browsers open, one for each email.

Your comments about 'others' and the wreckage and hell from those years has me laughing off my chair!!! I am right there with you on that!

Ever since the first time I wrote about (S-E-X)ual abuse on my blog, my google mail box has been flooded with offers for mailorder viagra on a daily basis. Efforts to filter these incoming messages are in vain. So, yeah I get it. I closed my FB account several months ago and I do not miss it at all.
Nice to hear from you sista :)
