For those of us using the iOS App for WordPress, we received an email yesterday telling us that our WordPress App had signed us out because there was a security issue.  If you haven’t seen it, this is it:

Great. So, it logged me out, and I logged back in, and lo and behold, the reader isn’t working!!!!!! I get as far as one hour ago and, boom, everything else is gone. Anyone else having this problem? Honestly, I’m disgusted over the whole reader crap that’s been going on and this just adds to it.

Hey!  Happiness Engineers!  I…am not happy!

Some people like to think the problems we face

Are merely gimmicks, put out there, by design

Until they realize, the problem, is the human race

When hindsight kicks’em, where the sun don’t shine!

The Cause ~ #poetry for the men in our lives #whimsical

Author’s Note:  I blame my muse for this one, written at 3:30AM.  She has been a bit wild lately and definitely needs a good talking to.


Ever wonder the probable cause?

Why women deal with menopause?

Listen closely, yes, come near

Something every man should hear

You’re the reason, for the rage

That we go through, as we age

M.E.N., make no mistake

You give us such a belly ache

Our hormones are so out of whack

There’s even trouble in the sack

Where once the romance was so true

These hot flashes are not meant for you

Forget the gym, no need to sweat

Nighttime leaves us soaking wet

To all the guys who love us so

There’s one more thing that you should know

These changes? Yes, we must endure

For science cannot find a cure

So, expect these rants, again and again

Seems our problems all begin with MEN!

Step Lightly

Step lightly, be careful not to break the shell

I wouldn’t want to crush your feelings

All is not well that doesn’t end well

Emotions are often sent reeling

Speak softly, never rough nor crude

Quiet, calming, the words must be

Or, surely, I’ll be considered rude

And you’ll go running for sympathy

Wait, before you spew more slander

Exactly what is it that we don’t agree?

Stop wasting time on pure propaganda

Perhaps the problem isn’t really me…..

Dearest WordPress (Part 3)

This will be my third time, yes
Count them, one, two, three
That I am asking you to fix
The problems that we see

The reader’s still a mess
Now the stats are jumbled, too
Maintenance comes at awkward times
So what are we to do?

Friends are disappearing
Yes, it’s really quite insane
To have to seek them out once more
And follow them again

Likes become unlikings
And our visitors, absentee
Spam is taking over
Where the comments used to be

We really love you dearly
We know you love us, too
So kindly straighten up the site
Before we bid adieu

See, we’re the ones who make you rock
But your changes really suck
Just make the bad ones go away
Before we don’t give a….

……….hoot
