    Posting problems

    Only a small part of my posts appear. First paragraph only.

    I'm having a lot of trouble, too. I'm not sure what happened, but something changed.

    And, I still can't see the pages in threads with multiple pages.

    Try posting in the join the conversation thread and not custom text editor.

    What you described, Doug, is exactly what was happening to me earlier today when I tried to post 3 times.  First paragraph only gets "processed" if you use Custom Text Editor.  I'll test the Join The Conversation box now . . .

    . . . and see if multiple paragraphs will post.  I don't mind using the Conversation box, but I prefer having some of the formatting options in the Custom Text Editor, like emoticons and whatnot.

    On the one hand, I guess it's nice to know that people behind the scenes are still tweaking the way things work on here, but on the other hand, it's frustrating that we don't get any updates like we did in the beginning -- even a heads up that things may behave differently would be nice.

    Oh, the other thing about using Join the Conversation is that I don't see where you click to post a photo in your thread.  

    Hope all you guys in the cold states are doing okay.  Put a dog (or two) in your lap and stay as warm as possible!

    OK, the paragraphs all post if you use the Join the Conversation box. But no formatting, no emoticons, and no way to post pics, I think. And I prefer the Preview option so I can proofread!

    I am getting past the point where I accept change just for the purpose of change.  I am going to embrace my inner curmudgeon .

    Anyway, it's a cold day in MN.  Turned white overnight.  Got junior out for a good run as the snow started, so he slept well last night.  So did I-we were about half a mile from the truck across rough ground as the truck faded into the snow.

    The last Obedience class was a joyful experience.  One classmate was cleaning up a line of fewmets in the entry gate area, which proved to be prophetic.  However, junior was polite and just made one pile on his first lap.  A big pile, but easy to clean .  He then claimed ownership of all the orange cones.  And the training ramp.  A three towel night.  I think the young OE sheepdog , the one wearing panties, is in heat, which makes junior believe he is in love.  Focus is missing.  He will not mess in the house, but his definition of public area is wide open.

    It is amazing how much this dog learns that never gets mentioned in the class.  "Up and In" for getting into the truck, car, or house.  "Out", for the obvious, when he is sitting in your lap, both paws up on your shoulders.  "Toy', when he brings up a shoe to play and you want him to chew on something else. " Bring it" when you want him to carry something back into the house.  "I'll drive", when he tries to  get behind the wheel of a moving truck.

    We now own a piece of granite, and the cabinet maker is starting  on the base units.  We appear to be committed.

    Puppy is 42 lbs and is now a dog.  

    Just read 'A Big Little LIfe" by  Dean Koontz.  Tear jerker because the end is alway present.  But he does write well, and it came with my Kindle.  I was going to delete it, but I started to read it and had to finish it.  A line I liked:

    "and she fell asleep not forever but just for the moment between the death of her body and the awakening of her spirit in the radiance of grace where she belonged."

    Doug I love your description of how the "pup" learns outside of class,  I'll drive is my fav.  

    Hope everyone is doing well, keeping warm and dry.  

    I had my hip check up today and got an A+ .  Doc said I am doing great.  He said I can get back to normal , what ever that is, lol.  At least I should be able to get in some kinda shape for gardening.  Cant wait

    Take care all  Gotta go watch Wheel.
