The problem is with blogger!

I just checked a couple of my blogging buddies sites...
and anyone's pictures that starts with a 3 is showing the warning sign from Microsoft, so it's not just my blog...
it's a blogger problem!
or Microsoft having problems with a blogger program...
Ann & Donnie both have photos in their last posts that have the 3 and pop up with the window...
check my last 2 posts for all the information on this and what's been going  on...
leave feedback!
let me know if you are having problems, too!
it's a pull your hair out kind of a day...

the problem may be with blogger...

any of my latest photos that begin...
3.bp.blobspot.com
all are showing this scene when you try to enlarge it...
all my pictures when enlarged here on the blog either begin with a 1, 2 or 3...
the ones that begin with 1 & 2 so far are normal and they enlarge...
I filed a report with Microsoft and got an email back from them that they are going to check my blog and it could take up to 2 business days for them to either fix the problem or not...
I have found other information online and in discussions on blogger that other people have had the same problem...
one image that does it everytime for me is the valentine that I posted this weekend...
the post begins...
vintage valenting
the picture
and then I typed in "for you"
its the 3rd or 4th post back...
if anyone has time...
could you check it for me?...
I am running Mircosoft security on my pc...
that might make a difference and why no one else is seeing it...
it may not be flagged as spyware by other anti virus programs...
this is so making me crazy here...
I am so sorry for any problems it is causing anyone...
and if you just tuned in...
read the post below this one and it will explain it more...

Someone has reported my blog as unsafe to Microsoft..

unless someone knows what to do about it...
I may have to shut down my blog and quit blogging...
I just don't know what to do or why anyone would do this...
some of my photos and images I have been sharing are now marked unsafe by Microsoft...
which would scare anyone away...
saying I am tracking information on you...
which I wouldn't even begin to know how to do anyway...
it just took one person, from what it says, to report you to microsoft and then they put this warning label on your images...
that's totally not fair...
and to who ever did it...
thanks a lot...
I can't fix this...
so if the blog disappears...
understand that I just got flustrated with the whole thing and quit...

ok, this is really freaky...
my son went in on his computer and the warning isn't popping up for him...
just on mine...
so if anyone has clicked on any of my images and found the warning, could you let me know?
if you aren't having any problems, could you let me know that, too?
I so don't know what to do...

Holy mackerel, Batman...

they just changed the forecast...
10-20 inches of snow...
I don't even Calgon can get me away from that...
decisions, decisions...
hibernate or evacuate?
HMMMM....

My town...

DH took me for a ride today...
this is a part of the Dr Hiram Rutherford Complex...
better known as Landmarks, Inc...
the old depot, the old jail, Dr Rutherford's doctor's office and the Meeting House...
across the road is his house...
our very own post office...
we have no home delivery in town...
we have a population of around 1,000 or so...
Main Street looking west...
the 1st building is the old hardware...
which now houses the food pantry and the museum...
then the 2nd building is the Columbian Building...
which is used as a community building now...
our water tower...
our city lake...
we used to get our water from here...
but now they pipe it in from Champaign, Illinois...
45 minutes north...
it is softer water...
but our water bill ranges from $60-$70 a month now...
but we are not going to run low like we used to during droughty summers...
This log house is the oldest home in town...
it had been sided many years ago and when they went to replace the old siding...
they discovered the logs...
and, yes, I have been in there many times...
it is super cool...

this is a very old barn behind a house on the square...
I think it's super cool...
after we drove around town a few times...
we headed out of town...
and we were never more than a couple miles out...
but all the back roads were clear...
and the sun was shining the whole time...
it's  going to be a little different the rest of the week...
so they guys wanted to get me out while they could...
they were going to get the wheel chair out and take me down the street...
but I thought the warm van would be better!
I don't think I have been for a ride since the last of November...
there were even people out today...
I got to wave to someone besides my neighbors!...
ok, we all wave around here...
whether you know them our not...
you wave...
it's what we do...
but I got enough photos to post the rest of the week...
because this old hiney isn't going out in the ice or blizzard coming!
I just hope it misses us or turns out to be not as bad as they are saying...
stay warm and have a good day...
