Cancelling Washington Post subscription

-

I am adding a bitchy mood digital art piece of mine here. I originally shared this image on FB a while back when discussing hell and evangelicals. It fits my mood after dealing with the Wahington Post for the second time in two weeks.

I had already believed I had cancelled my Washington Post Subscription. I really don't want anything to do with them. I did it the "right" way. Twice. I discovered that they still charged me for a monthly subscription even after going through their process again two weeks ago. I have been more than a little frustrated. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU NOT SUBSCRIBE TO THE WASHINGTON POST.

 I finally copied my most recent discussion with their d-mn chat support to send to my bank with a stop payment request, and here it is:

And then PayPal was glitchy. The good result of this is I went through and reviewed all of my PayPal payments.


I sent an email to my bank requesting a cancellation of payment. Hopefully that happens.

 I have been busy. Still working at the shelter as a Triage Specialist. Still fiddling with collages, painting, photography and digital painting. Mark and I moved to a spot on the same plot of land, but in a new home. I like our blue house in the woods. We will continue to use the old house as a workshop. Life is full. Our new home I keep updating pages, but don't do much with them. It is my hope I will someday retire and find time to create more art and share it. I am not ready to retire yet, though. This is the  darkroom.tech  page that I am in the process of sorting out, and here is my  Smugmug page.  Here are examples of pieces available from my Darkroom page, which is located here . I am showing them as framed, but they are available as metal prints, and prints on canvas also.

A note to "pro-lifers".......

If you have to tell a blatant lie to convince others to join you in supporting your cause, then you really need to question the validity of your cause.   I am talking about the so-called "pro-life" advocates. You constantly post about the "babies" being killed, or about the “children’s’ lives being lost” by abortion when you know good and well that children and babies are not being aborted. Saying so doesn't make it so, and you saying it because it brings drama and emotion to your position is deceitful. You know this. You know you will never get as many people on your side in a reasonable debate on the subject by being honest and using terms like embryo or fetus, so you resort to lying.    You DO KNOW that If I told you I couldn’t see any difference between a walnut and a walnut tree you would know, not just think, that I was lying. A walnut possesses all the genes and DNA of a full grown tree , and the potential to become one, but you’d call me out for l...
