Since I probably won't return to this post, feel free to shoot me an email linked on my blog or post it in a comment on one of my posts... that is, if you can think of a good one that you would recommend. If not, that is fine too.

It's a simple painting but it has some energy.<br /><br />YP: It could be money, but I suspect she is simply loath to admit that she was wrong.<br /><br />GZ: A photo will have to suffice. There's no way I could get that painting off there!<br /><br />Andrew: That's exactly true. I always let Olga go at her own pace and sniff where she wants. I figure it's HER walk, so let her do what she wants.<br /><br />Pixie: Yeah, unless you understand the objective and the goal, it just seems like torture.<br /><br />Ms Moon: Olga enjoys all her seasons, I think!<br /><br />Jeanie: Thanks for the vote of confidence in our decisions re. Olga!<br /><br />Bob: You'll probably see it happen on your blog too. Just this morning there was a comment in my spam from weeks ago, one that had already been published. So weird.<br /><br />Debby: Exactly! As far as I'm concerned Olga is well until she tells us she's not.<br /><br />Ed: Hmmmm...let me think about that! The Irving book wasn't bad but I'm not sure it's one I'd recommend.<br /><br />Robin: It's frustrating when REAL spam doesn't go in the spam folder!!<br /><br />Sharon: You know, I haven't thought to check whether comments in the spam folder were appearing on the site already. Maybe the old ones in particular are already published so it doesn't matter that they're in spam?<br /><br />Ellen: Yeah, it's always a good idea to keep an eye on it!<br /><br />Padre: Ooooh, I love a good rant! (Especially about a problem I can identify with!)<br /><br />Margaret: My problem with your blog is that Blogger doesn't recognize when it updates. It sits down at the bottom of my blog list no matter what, which I find very frustrating. (That's why I miss some of your posts.)<br /><br />Boud: Oh, I haven't noticed THAT problem! Why can't they get this commenting thing right?!<br /><br />Kelly: I agree. I think this vet's reluctance to let go of the tumor idea is partly because she doesn't want to admit she's wrong. Of course, she may be right, but as I said, time will tell.<br /><br />Allison: I agree. I think it's unlikely that a biopsy would be incorrect, but it DOES happen.<br /><br />Catalyst: Well, exactly. It's inevitable, isn't it? She's not showing signs of going anytime soon, though, fortunately.<br /><br />River: Well, it's nice to see the spam folder actually does its job occasionally!!Steve Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11684120060438252945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-87031801334329545672022-10-05T06:51:02.238+01:002022-10-05T06:51:02.238+01:00Olga looks lovely surrounded by the leaves.

Blogger's comment algorithm has issues. <br />It's odd that a vet would just casually say a biopsy is wrong.

That one is frame worthy. <br />Yes, I've noticed the odd spam issues. I have actually had a new spammer who has posted comments three times now and they each have gone directly on to the blog. I've marked them as spam all three times. While that was going on, I found comments from regular readers in the spam folder. The strangest one was when I found a comment in the spam folder while it was also posted on the site. Apparently this spam thing is a tough situation to fix.Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07645915869786296771noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-47247435728727859152022-10-04T15:00:48.790+01:002022-10-04T15:00:48.790+01:00I noticed that the other when I checked the spam f...I noticed that the other when I checked the spam folder and found my own in there. Interestingly there is one spammer whose comments have returned after a hiatus. That jerk's comments don't show up in the spam folder.
