T Stands For More Random Mugs

 

 In case you haven't read or been by my blog lately, Blogger is STILL not allowing me to leave comments.  I cannot seem to get rid of the dreaded "Failed to Publish, Try Again Later." Please believe me when I say how very frustrated I am and hope you realize I DO keep trying to leave each of you a comment.  

For those of you who suggested I try a different operating system (mine is Linux) or browser (I only use Firefox), I have NO other choices.  There are no other options.  When I had the computer built, I wanted "lean and mean" and that meant no excessive software to clutter the machine.  I simply refuse to have Windows on my computer.  I'll choose when to update my software, rather than "allow" a massive program to invade my computer while I sleep.  This may be the fatal reason Blogger is throwing a hissy fit!!

I have more random mugs from the last time (November) I was at The Spice Merchant.  

Autumn is well covered in these mugs.  Do you see the pumpkin mug in the background?

These look like spring with spring flowers, bunnies, and ladybugs, but I assure you this photo was taken the same day.

I know a couple of people for whom the "Rescue Dog" mug would apply.

I've shown you mine, now it's your turn to share your T entry this week.  The rules are extremely simple.  Your drink related post may be anything from a photo of a glass, cup, or mug, to an actual drink.  You may choose to share a sketch or a digital, hybrid, or traditional page in your scrapbook, art journal, or altered book, as I have done.  Maybe you'd prefer to share a tag, or wow us with your photography.  You might choose a postcard or decorated card.  You might even draw an image on a used tea bag.  Or perhaps you prefer to review a place you visited, a movie, or book.  It makes no difference as long as it's drink related.  And don't forget that the more unique and outside the box it is, the better we like it.  Please tie it back here, and please link only to your T post, not your entire blog.  When you link, Bleubeard, the T gang, and I will be by to visit.   Bleubeard would also like to remind you that your photos may be taken any time.

...Elizabeth, have you tried to Goggle why I can't comment?

I shared my cup from Spice Merchant in my post today. Thank you for hosting, Elizabeth. Even though you can't comment, you provide a way for the rest of us to visit each other. Happy New Year!

I looked up using Blogger on Linux and what I found is that they should work together. So I don't know if that's the issue. I saw that it could be a corrupt cookie or your browser's blocking a cookie that blogger needs to work. It's something you might need to check. I'm not sure if that has to do with your firewall or not. You have some great mugs today-3 that caught my eye. The beehive, the rescue dog and and that face of the dog next to the rescue dog. Have a super T day. hugs-Erika

I'll get back to you later! 💚

Iris Flavia said...

Maybe you can try portableapps.com to help tricking blogger?
Oh, the pumpkin-mug looks cool!
Have a great T-Day, dear Elizabeth. And... I think we all know you try to leave comments and are just thankful you keep hosting despite the frustration!

I see that several people have given suggestions of solving your problem. Save them for next time your friend Scott comes.
I was going to suggest using your phone, but then I remembered you don't have a cell phone.
I have also noticed that the whole right hand side column on your blog post is missing, the left one is there.... strange. I am no techy so really I can't help you.
Thank you for showing us more mugs. You have been showing us mugs for years and still they always come up with new original designs. Very clever. I like the ones in the first photo (next to the sunflower mug).
Happy T-Day Elizabeth,
Lisca

Dear Elizabeth, here I am, as promised, with a proper comment. It's such a shame that there are still—apparently insurmountable—problems with commenting. My suggestion to write comments HERE in YOUR comment section instead of on our blogs still stands.

The mugs—whether autumnal, spring-themed, or related to rescue dogs—are all very pretty. I especially like the traditional-looking floral patterns on the first few mugs.

On my blog this time, you'll find paper coffee mugs with a message that suits us, painted coffee mugs, wine bottles, and glasses. Take your pick.

Happy T-Day!
All the best, Traude

You stick to your guns! I am happy to visit you.

CJ Kennedy said...

My favorite mugs out of this collection are the light blue mugs with leaves. They are found next to the Fall mugs. Happy T Day

Violetta said...

Nice mugs again dear Elizabeth - and happy T-day. It is such a pitty that your system is not working as you liked it to do. But I also have no real suggestion to solve that problem.
I know it´s hard when something is not working as you want it to.
Have a good time and all the best
Violetta

I am so sorry you are having a hard time with comments. I do love the bunny mugs! last Tuesday I loved the kitty mugs. So cute. I truly hope you figure out the comments situation. Have a wonderful rest of the week and thank you for hosting a lovely party. Hugs!

DVArtist said...

I've said it before, I love this store and wish we had one here. The mugs are excellent. Have a nice day today.

Debra said...

So frustrating that you can't comment! I love the mugs and I did spot the pumpkin mug!

I like the mugs you've shared.

All the best Jan

Have you tried commenting as anonymous (then signing your name to the comment)? That sometimes works. But very frustrating.
