         well howdy campers....it's the last day of 2019!!!!  exciting times here!!!!    so my bg gave me some homework....well everything is homework cause i'm at home....ha ha.....anyway she wanted me to put some stuff up on instagram...........sure............well it only took me 2 days to change just the profile picture on my instagram page  ..............i know alot of you are saying "it's not a 2 day job, it can be done in a couple minutes or less".....yes, i know this, it's just i have to go about things the hard way....similar to the way a kid heads home for dinner....
         ya know the comic strip "the family circle?"....well it was basically a comic circle cause it was always in a circle not a strip....which is i guess how they got the phrase comic strip, cause it was a strip of comics....well not the family circle.......ok anyway.....sometimes the artist would make a comic about the route that the little boy would take when called home.........for those of you who haven't seen it, it goes something like this.....the mom calls the boy home for dinner, the boy is next door, the boy goes over the next door next door neighbors fence (which is the opposite direction of his house), then swings on their backyard swing for a bit, climbs up their tree, crosses over to another neighbors tree, climbs over their fence, crosses the street to pet a dog, kicks a can....etc....and finally gets homes.......so you see how i work.......i finally get to the point, but it might take me around the neighborhood to do it.....
           so the problem i was having, was i had to get a photo from my phone to put on instagram.....i'm not great at working from my phone, i usually work from my computer, but instagram doesn't let you do anything from your computer.......so now i have to figure out how to get my pictures from the computer to the phone.....but wait icloud is full on my phone.....not even sure how  icloud works, but anyway......so i youtube instructions.....that's a verb now i guess, I youtubed something, i was youtubing, etc.....then i figured out that google photos has unlimited storage for free......i'm all about a bargain.........now i have to figure out how to get google photos (gp from now on) to work on my computer.......i think i have that figured out, but wait, i have 2 google accounts and my instagram is on the one i did not download or upload with gp's.....so i guess it doesn't connect, or i am not able at the moment to connect them....that would have taken another day and numerous youtube videos to figure out........now i have to figure out how to go to the other account......kinda figured that out.....now how do i download or upload my pictures to gp....kind of have that done...but wait i haven't done anything with my phone....arrrrrgggghhhhh........back to square one.......aaaahhhhh......i have so many accounts i can't keep up with them, you would not even believe the post-its that are everywhere now,  and i'm thoroughly confused....ok deep breath..........so  i have to get a photo from gp to the place on my phone that holds pics.....just remembered it's called a camera roll....anyway....back to youtube to figure out how to do that........finally get a picture sent to camera roll and wah lah....i have a new profile picture on instagram!!!!!   .......piece of cake.......right.......ha ha.... my son, the computer wiz, could have done this whole process in less than 5 min.....and then called me home for dinner ........
            ........have a super groovy new years eve everyone, and be safe out there!!!!!
