I looked at other blogs immediately, finding two of my pals also removed, others still there, but no comment was possible! Like a slow continuous eating-up of all our blogs, one after the other - can you IMAGINE! The next day I saw that my blog was back, but my latest post was gone! Like you, I felt terrible and left alone, and missed my bloggie pals and wanted to shout at someone. But then I saw the note that they APOLOGIZED and promised to heal it all.<br />Oh, how should we have lived on without the blogosphere?! Thank you, Blogger, for doing your best. I really appreciate you.Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06484336744673299416noreply@blogger.com
