This morning I was feeling sad over the financial crisis in this country, and I got to thinking about how happy I am to have my wonderful and FREE, hobby of blogging! Then I started to think of any possible hardship on Google as a company, and how it has the potential to affect our Blogger! That got me to thinking about how much I would miss you guys if I didn't have you anymore!!! I just want to tell you that it will leave a huge hole in my life and heart if I can't communicate with ya'll. If anything happens and we lose communication, whenever we can re-hook up, I will still use the same name "A Succulent Life", so you can find me. The other consideration is our phone companies and DSL providers...any of these things can be affected. OK...now that I have told you this, I feel better! Hopefully, all will be well. I am only looking into possibilities in my mind this morning. Take care...and hopefully I will be able to "see" you tonight!
With loads of love and admiration to all of you...
Julie
I think it interesting that you posted this thought this morning. I have wondered even before the crisis whether they would start charging for the blogs after we are all addicted to them. Lets now worry about that though. Enjoy it while we can.
ReplyDeleteyah... we do take these things for granted I guess. Hope they'll stick around.
ReplyDeleteJulie, most big companies like Google are diversified with all kinds of assets that don't involve the stock market. I don't think we have to worry about this "crisis." Now if there is something tangibly missing from the market, say like bread, and we start hearing things coming from Washington or Wall Street like "let them eat cake," then I'll start to worry. ;>}
ReplyDeleteSame here! All the financial news yesterday is really discouraging. I know a few people who works at the W bank. There are a lot of people who is affected by this and I'm so glad I have this hobby to keep my mind at peace.
ReplyDeleteI hear you. Life would never be the same without all my internet friends.
ReplyDeleteBut calm down, life is good so enjoy the moment and be happy. (wasn't that a song?:)
OK, I am in no way an authority on the subject, but I have not heard or read anything about Google or blogging in general being in danger of collapse.
ReplyDeleteeep! i never thought about all of these things being affected! that would be so sad!
ReplyDeleteThanks for all of your replies! Just some thoughts to think about!
ReplyDeletewe could all go back to 'snail mail' and that would be fun too.
ReplyDeleteI would miss you terribly too, Julie....hopefully, Google will not be affected. We do tend to take Blogger for granted but I hope they realise how much we do appreciate their free service.
