So

Just got notice that google acct going away 4-2-19... what???? what does that mean?  can i no longer ask google ???? and get an answer, does my g-mail acct go away, do i need to get another e-mail carrier.... i just can't.... it is too much... have been paying $1.99 per month to google, (o think for storage, of what i have no idea) will that go away??? is the cloud google or is that something different.....

Also
there are SO many people in the land of the free, home of the brave that live lives of quiet desperation, month to month.... i know.... i have been there... don't know why i am in a position to not feel it so terrible as i once did, like in the 80-90's  when i was working full time and just barely getting by...... i did work, all the time and am lucky to have a pension and do not need to rely only on soc sec.
and what started all of this introspection?    Had to get luci's pills gain this month, $159!!! You know there is a time that this would not have been possible.  For something that means so very much to me.... would i have had to just let her quietly go and not be able to help her with this last stage of her life.  the thought is untenable.  i just feel so fortunate and wish others could feel the same.... and now with all of the snow in the country, so very cold and now there are the threats of extensive flooding this Spring.  things just go on and on..... how do people do it?  Just day by day and weeks and months and years pass.... geez this is getting morose

  1. I don't know what the 1.99 is for unless its photo storage. But what is going away is Google+. It was supposed to be so much better than Facebook but never caught on. Google is still going to be there along with our blog posts, and our gmail.

    I've thought about what we would have done about our furkids and all their pills. Costs us about $400 every three months. I think when we were little our folks didn't have the money to spend on pets and they didn't live as long. Glad we can make these last days, months or years of their life as good as possible.

  3. I was going to tell you the same thing, Loree, it is only the google plus part that is leaving, and for some of us that means we lose the google comments on our blog. No big deal. There will still be all those other google products out there. You can bet they aren't going to let you get away that easy. So sorry things are hard for Carl and that your seet Luci is getting older. So hard to bear that part, I know. You are a good mom in all ways.

  4. Lori it’s Google + (Plus) that’s going away. Nothing for you to worry about.

  5. Google is not going away! I think you need to put some shoes on, go for a walk or drive through the beautiful mountains! Wish I was there to drag you along. Life is always contains struggles of some sort, but life does go on...so glad you recognize you have many blessings, Luci, Brian, your financial status, your beautiful house and yard, friends who love you and, yes, even Carl!

  6. Halley (our dog) is now needing pills for lung and heart issues. The good part is they seem to be helping. I grew up on a farm where there was not money for pets. Only money producing livestock got mendical attention. I will not go into what happened to those who got ill that did not meet this criteria. As already ready mentioned google is keeping the blooger going including the picture storage. I will miss Google Plus:(
