Well, I was far from happy when I read posts about this, so sent a message to the forum asking how it might affect me
My questions

I am concerned regarding changes to personal FREE blogs and restrictions to views and capacity i.e: 10,000 visits per month and media storage reduced to .5 GB rather than the current 3GB.
So my questions are:
Can I continue to use my blog as it is with no restrictions or am I going to lose my contents and media?
What happens if I get more than 10,000 visits per month something which is out of my control? If that happens, is it your intention to shut down access to my blog?

I have a lot of media which I have built up over the years. How will you decide what you are going to delete?

I only became aware of this having read…

“I’m teaching you this lesson to lessen your ignorance of forest flora and fauna. This is lichen. See how it grows on rocks and trees looking like a mold? It is beautiful but you can liken it to an invasive species that is a fungus/algae that spreads on its host and some are poisonous to humans and animals”.

Albright

“Madeleine Albright, née Marie Jana Korbel, (born May 15, 1937, Prague, Czechoslovakia [now in the Czech Republic]—died March 23, 2022, Washington, D.C., U.S.), Czech-born American public official who served as U.S. ambassador to the United Nations(1993–97) and who was the first woman to hold the cabinet post of U.S. secretary of state (1997–2001).”

“As Secretary of State, Albright promoted the expansion of NATO eastward into the former Soviet bloc nations and the non-proliferation of nuclear weapons from the former Soviet republics to rogue nations, successfully pressed for military intervention under NATO auspices during the humanitarian crisis in Kosovo in 1999, supported the expansion of free-market democratization and the creation of civil societies in the developing world, favored the ratification of the Kyoto Protocol on Global Climate Change, and furthered the normalization of relations with Vietnam.”

I wanted her to be President but of course she was not born in the USA. Instead we had “upstanding” citizens like Trump who had the honor.🙄😳😵‍💫

Sijo – Guard

by rugby843, posted in Uncategorized
You should use the word in the title of this post as your inspiration as either a theme of the Sijo or in the poem itself.

There are:

  • Three Lines
  • 14-16 syllables per line
  • A total of 44-46 syllables for the entire poem.

To know how many syllables in a particular word try HowManySyllables.com.

  • The first line of the Sijo usually sets the theme.
  • The second line elaborates on the first line.
  • The third line brings the poem matter to a close.

The setting can be nature, a favorite season, or some event of your day. Something, as I mentioned above that can be contemplative in nature.

Guard against the obvious idea, trite analysts’ speech

Your common sense and intuition, should always rule the day

Consider loved ones’ influence, but make your own decisions
