Dougy wants something from Doug, his human. Hint! Hint! What could that be?
It starts out simply enough with Dougy and Andy perched on favorite pieces of furniture, doing nothing.
> Purr! Purr! Purr! < Dougy seems content…for the moment.
Andy’s also content on the recliner arm…
Dougy’s sends out hints. (He flexes his extended paw…menacingly!)
Uh oh! Andy gets the point! Will the human?
Dougy gets up to block the television. “It’s all about me! Stop watching that!”
“OK, Dougy! I get the message!”
“Oh yeah! Oh yeah!” Dougy gets scritched! “Between the eyes now, puh-lease!”
Happy kitty, happy home!
…and don’t you forget it!

Sorry for all the updates appearing in your e-mails. I’m having issues with the “improved” editor. It wants to save before I am ready for it to save, then I find out (after I’ve posted) that there are unwanted things posted or things I changed and thought were included in the update that are missing. I HATE THE “IMPROVED” EDITOR!
That is a great closeup of Dougy’s face! Beautiful photos of the cats Doug!
WordPress throws some curve balls at us now and then. 🙂
Thanks! Yes, WordPress does. For example, I just hit something that trashes comments, and had to reconstruct one of your comments to answer it. There’;s an Undo function, but it never does. Drives me wild! I can’t figure out what I keep hitting that wipes out comments.
Those faces! ❤
They really work me, too. I have no resistance!
There is really a difference of behavior between the two cats . Andy looks always awake and Dougy llike to be pated !!!
You have to adapt yourself to those two characters ! 🙂
In friendship

Yes, each is very different from the other! It’s one way I can tell them apart.
Here is something you might find interesting my friend and if you can use this information then I am pleased and if you need something more let me know and I will try to help.
You cannot deactivate the new Beep Beep Boop editor but you do not have to use it. For locating the ways and means of accessing the legacy or classic pages for creating posts, editing posts, and viewing stats see here > Navigating the Classic WordPress.COM interface http://onecoolsitebloggingtips.com/2015/04/05/navigating-the-classic-wordpress-com-interface/
On the dashboard of your own blog at
Dashboard > Posts > All Posts > Add New is where to create posts in the classic editor. If you have cookies enabled on your browser your preference will be saved unless or until your clear your cookies, and it will take you to the classic editor automatically every time you create a new post via the drop-down menu in the black admin bar or edit a post via the edit button on the blog itself.
O.K., I see I sent you an unreachable link. Sorry about that. The thing is I never use the “New” editor. I always use the “Old” editor. Go to your admin page and click on “WP admin” and then scroll down to “New Posts” and it should take you directly to the old “Classic” editor. Let me know if this works for you.
No problem! See my other comment. I do have a link to the old editor that goes back to when I started blogging in 2009….
Good! Glad to see you’re covered.
Thanks for your suggestions, anyway. You never know.
You are welcome my friend. If I can help let me know.
I use a combination of the old editor, to which I have a link going back to 2009 when I first started the blog, and the new one.
I try to do everything but adding photos in the old editor, then I save it and go to the new editor using a link the Happy Engineers of WordPress gave me when I had the uploading problem with photos.
I do like the new editor for uploading photos because I can insert photos into the text before they are fully loaded into the media files. From there, I often have to wait for the full upload before posting.
The main problem I have with the new editor is the auto-save business. Too often, the save goes on without me being aware of it, and the dang thing saves a version I don’t want. Then, usually after I finally post the miserable thing, I notice the subtle changes that didn’t get saved and have to redo them.
It is tedious, and this process is like going around the world to get from San Francisco to New York.
I do like the classic editor for viewing stats, too. The new one seems cleaned up of the interesting features of the old. I don’t know what the Happy Engineers thought they were doing! It isn’t just a bunch of old users being upset about change: There are features in the old editor that are genuinely helpful and simpler to use!
I use the old editor for everything 99/44/100ths % of the time for the exact same reasons … ease of use.
I suspect there are many of us. Though the new editor has some nice features, they don’t wipe out the usefulness of the old editor.
No the new editor does not replace the old in practical terms, does it. I quite agree.
How come so few ‘improvements’ actually make hings better?
It’s a great question!
So sweet – love only in their hearts 🙂
I hope so!
LOL… we can see who the boss of your house is ;-)))
You know it! (Not saying they’re spoiled or anything….!)
I know what you mean… I suspect M is the boss of our house….
Of course M is! (Now, straighten up and put kitty treats out for your boss!)
Ooooooooohhhh! Bribery! I like it!!! And I really need him to stop giving me the evil eye!!! >^.^<
It has helped. He doesn’t want the medicine, but he now associates it as the icky part of the process of getting a nice treat at the end. He runs over the to spot where I give him the treats as soon as I let him down.
Excellent advice!
Thanks!
Technology, sentient machines are deliberately wearing us down.
Yes, they do that! We create a machine capable of complex tasks, but they come with the inherent weaknesses of creation by an imperfect species.
