Free chair, WordPress and RSS Feeds


 Free is good! 

A gentleman in my husband's bible study is redecorating his home and offered this chair, free of charge and he even threw in free delivery! 

We'll take it! 

I've always been the keeper of other people's stuff! Throughout the years I have received some really awesome pieces of furniture etc. Have you priced these recliners lately? They are too expensive - and in most cases, delivery is no longer free, at least around here it isn't. 




I just got back from the grocery store where eggs are now $9.14 and the cheapest brand of bacon is $6.49. I also bought the store brand mayo - Best foods, which I always buy had a brownish tinge to it - Well do a take-and-bake pizza from the pizza shop tonight for dinner - usually my husband makes pizza but lately I have given him a break. 




I sure hope everyone is fine - seems half of the bloggers I read regularly have not posted anything in a week or more. I know that nasty flu is going around. If you are one of them, just know you are missed and I hope you are well. 

I've been having some issues here on Blogger. Yesterday I impulsively went back to WordPress and opened up a blog with this name - clicked for them to transfer my domain and I exported this blog into the new one on WordPress. 

Then it was time to pick a theme - which I did. I had a WordPress blog a year or two ago but it has changed even in that short time. I honestly could not figure it out. It is not user-friendly for those over a certain age. I've always been a bit on the techy side, but for the life of me, I couldn't figure it out. Finally, after half the day, I deleted the blog, canceled the subscription and they refunded my money back. 

I guess I am stuck here on Blogger until they shut down or I die of frustration due to their many glitches - It's crazy - I can go months with everything running smoothly and then, WHAM - everything is acting wonky. 

I just want it simple - I do like to change things up a bit every couple of years - 






One thing new - I added was a way to sign up for email posts - 
I went with Follow It - (Thanks Denise

Easy peasy. It's free and you just add your blog URL and add the little widget they provide just for your blog. 


 I was on Bloglovin for years and had over 200 + followers - Bloglovin is/was platform that allows users to read, organize, and discover their favorite blogs on mobile and desktop using the RSS feed.  A new owner in 2018 and it has been going downhill ever since. More than half the time, it is down. 

I can't depend on Blogger and their reader - can't trust Bloglovin - So I need to always have options two, three, or four!

This blog post will self-destruct in 10 seconds...

  1. Free is indeed good, we gave away my near new recliner just to get rid off it

    1. Yeah as you can see, this recliner is in pretty good shape. They like to redecorate their home every couple of years. Nice to have friends like that - then I can scruff up on their hand-me-downs!

  2. I do come by and read every now and then, but my blogging mojo dried up. BTW, that price for eggs is ridiculous.

    1. Hey Denise - good to see you out. Regrading the eggs: it might be time to get some chickens!

  3. Nice recliner! And free is awesome. :)
    I just came from the grocery store and bought eggs. They are $4.95 here, which I thought was bad, but now it doesn't seem so bad.
    I used to use bloglovin and then it lost all my blogs. What a mess! Now I use Feedly and it has been great.

    1. Eggs usually go up in the winter anyway - so hopefully it is temporary. It won't stop me from using them.
      Yeah Bloglovin just crashed and I noticed toward the end, a lot of porn people were following me. Ewww yuck.

  4. I just purchased a dozen eggs Friday and was appalled at having to pay almost $7.00 for them. One of my coworkers raises chickens and brings in extra eggs for anyone that wants them. He is gone visiting family right now so no free eggs lately. I will surely be apprecitave of the next time i can score a carton from him!

  5. Ooooo, your new chair looks nice and comfy. I like to receive furniture from friends and family also. Best Foods Mayonaise is the best. I finally bought some at the store. It's nice to have for sandwiches and other foods. Sound like you had a time with blog issues for awhile. I hope you figured it all out. It's frustrating sometimes when things keep changing.
