My WordPress.com Blog Disappears and Frustration

I started my first wordpress.com blog - this wordpress.com blog – in 2008, and have used alot of photos, videos, pics, and slides in my blogposts. I’ve went through several computers since I started this blog, so some of my photos were stored nowhere else but right here in MY administration account! Yea, I know, dumb move but hey, we all make them.
Although wordpress does have alot of features and functionality that a blogger wants, it also has its limitations. I mean, geesh, you can’t put ANY html in sidebars, bottom bars, or any other bars! Not in wordpress.COM anyway. I would love to be able to put a line or 2 of code in a sidebar widget, but nope, not in the wordpress.COM version, but IF you want more functionality with your blog, use wordpress.org and a hosting acct through the best, and get  $1.99 Web Hosting Per Month!

But back to my original intent of this post………..
I haven’t posted in either of my blogs in awhile, or went to my facebook acct or my main twitter account. Just didn’t want to, you see………….
A couple of weeks ago I logged into my wordpress.com acct and found that my blog was GONE! THIS BLOG JUST DISAPPEARED!  In my dashboard were the words…..” MountainHigh.wordpress.com no longer exists”   But….. But…..Bull!…But…..WHY?? Lemme tell you I paniced! This blog was the second ‘thing’ that was ‘mine’(???) my thoughts, opinions, pics etc, that I did online! I was a total newbie to it all when I started this blog. But I could not figure out WHY! Then it hit me- all my old photos, a couple videos stored nowhere but here, and a deep rooted, disappointed, sick of it all – feeling started creeping into my heart. Yes it was my fault for not storing my stuff and stories somewhere else… but I didn’t. Maybe I should have stored a copy of my entire blog somewhere! hmmmmf! no, I didn’t!
But WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS WORDPRESS???

So I typed them an email and asked them WHY. About 36 – 48 hours later I received a response. “It was a system error and the ‘system’ should not have done that” and then, POOF! my blog was restored just as quickly, and easily, as it had been taken down, with all content! The support guy apologized and offered “if theres anything we can do” yada yada line. Shoot, IF they wanted to do something, give me a FREE UPGRADE of some type- LIKE A NO AD UPGRADE! hmmmf why ask?
 I didn’t quickly get over the fact that all my work – even posts and ads for my first website- MyFountainDesigns – was gone, as quickly as it disappearred, or restored.
I didn’t have my content copied elsewhere, but I do now.
 I’m getting back into a few of the things I do when logged into the world wide web, but with a renewed sense of ‘but…. what if? but……what about?
I guess a lesson was learned, maybe you can learn from it too.

Spring 2011 Lee County Trail Ride

I don’t think I ever put our SPRING 2011 LEE COUNTY TRAIL RIDE on here, so here is one of the videos from that ride. Riddick is riding his little pony Buck, but he graduated to a much bigger horse this summer, and is what he now rides and rode in the FALL HORSEBACK TRAIL RIDES.

We ride thru what is called Hells Creek and Walkers Creek on our second day of our Spring 2011 Trail Ride at Lee County Ky – Beattyville . There was about 60 of us straggled out n about on horse back that day, and down part of Ky Rt 11 when leaving and returning to camp

 

 

Knott Co Fall Horseback Trail Ride 2011

FINALLY, I present the first video I put together using clips taken with my trusty Nikon Coolpix camera. Little things while living life on Paradise Mountain have taken up alot of my time, but here is the FIRST video I put together from the famous 2011 FALL KNOTT COUNTY HORSEBACK TRAIL RIDE!

Knott County Ky Horse Trail Rides are THE largest horseback trail riding events in Ky. This Spring and Fall equine event is anticipated by horse lovers from all over the USA. Many come if they don’t ride a horse, wagon, buggy, mule, donkey, or if they don’t even own a horse, but for love of the great outdoors, the 1000′s of like minded people that camp at Knott Co campgrounds, to get together with good friends, good camp food, and for the beautiful scenery in the Appalachian Hills of Ky. Knott Co Trail Rides are held twice a year in Knott Co – Hindman Ky.

Fried Cucumbers

Yep, you read it right! I know many have heard of, and fry their own Green Tomatoes. But try FRIED CUCUMBERS – mmm mmm mmm.
Cut the hide [the skin- or that green outside part] off, slice the cumber so you end up with a bunch of ROUND slices, then roll it in whatever you fry your tomatoes or squash in, heat your oil and fry those Cucumbers. I like them better than any of the above mentioned items.

How I Fry Cucumbers
This is a matter of choice, but I always use Olive Oil for all my frying. It is more expensive, but, is the Oil of The People, according to the Bible. So thats what I use [I also use it to anoint my home, and people when the opportunity arises]
 - Heat oil on medium heat
 -  Wash Cucumbers, then slice as stated above
 -  put flour in a bowl with a lid or a bag to shake – for easier coating
 - Salt and pepper to taste, and I add some Mrs Dash Seasoning- or 2 different kinds – however I feel like doing it that day!
 - after slicing, place several slices in bowl or bag, shake till well coated
 - place slices single layer in the heated oil and fry till lightly browned, then turn and fry the other side

Many have different things they mix when frying veggies. Same applies here. You can add milk to your flour, or an egg, to make a thicker coating on the cucumbers. But the same rule applies with cucumbers, tomatoes, squash or whatever, WHEN IN DOUBT—— ROLL IN FLOUR AND FRY! You can’t go wrong!,

Get Ready for 2011 Spring Horse Back Trail Rides

Anticipating the 2011 Spring Horse Back Trail Rides in the various counties we’ll be riding in – such as KNOTT COUNTY SPRING 2011 HORSEBACK TRAIL RIDE, LEE CO SPRING RIDES, PATOKER, PARADISE MOUNTAIN TRAIL RIDES, somewhere in West Virginia- horseback trail rides,  and others, I hated to hear that Owsley County Saddle Club will most likely NOT be having any trail rides this year.
I had a great time at the Fall 2010 Owsley Co Ky Fall Trail Ride, and got to see alot of old friends and met some fantastic new friends. But, thanks to another instance of the brilliance of our,uh-hmm, Law Enforcement agencies, there is a HUGE lawsuit against the Owsley County keystone cops and the Owsley County Saddle Club!
Will and I were checking out someone else’s 2010 Spring Trail Ride video on youtube at the beginning of this video as Larry watched us watching them! lol

Here’s to the good times Owsley County!

LEGAL MURDER-UPDATED & UNLEASHED

It has now been 3 years since I first posted COPS THAT MURDER -about the Ky State Trooper that murdered Randy Baldwin, but the memories and pain never fade.
There were alot of questions I posed in that first post, questions that could not be answered because the story that was in the papers, on the news, the ‘official’ story did not make sense. It could not have happened the way State Trooper Byron Hansford said it did. For many reasons, I have not updated the story with the actual- FACTUAL TRUTH……… until now…..

Randy started having blackouts and had been to the Dr concerning them, just days before his fateful meeting with Ky State Trooper Byron Hansford
Randy had experienced one of these blackouts and someone drove by, seen Randy laying beside the road, not moving, so they thought he had been hit by a car and made that fatal 911 call.

continue on for the Truth about what really happened……..
