iPPP...

I need to rage for a minute.  A rage against Instagram.  Yes - I'm upset that they have decided to change terms on us.  But, I have a more serious problem. My problem is that every time I post a picture, I put a caption on it.  But, I refresh my feed, and the caption disappears!  If I share to FB, or Twitter, caption shows up in FB or Twitter - but not Instagram!  Now, it looks like I post these random pics, with no explanation or anything.  Second, I have the same problem with comments.  I comment on your pictures.  I respond to the comments on my pictures.  But once again, I refresh my feed, and the comments disappear.  This is aggravating to a point that I tried to get help.  The help in Instagram will not let you contact anyone.  I tried to report a problem.  But, my problem is not in their list.  So then, I googled how to report an issue on Instagram.  I was able to submit something via Facebook.  I was supposed to get an email back.  Nothing.  I have no idea if they received my report or not.  If they have, I'm even more angry because I haven't heard back, and I still can't post a comment or caption.

I'm weighing my options as to whether or not to keep my account.  I like Instagram.  I love the community and getting to see other wonderful photographers.  And even though this is a free service, it would be nice to get some service.  I know that the terms of service/privacy policy go into effect on January 19.  This gives me about 10 days to determine if it's worth keeping this account or not.

P.s. I love anyone that likes one of my pics, and if you have left a comment, I responded, I swear!

Ok.

Rant over. (for now *shakes fist - vehemently!)

Since this is the first iPPP of the new year, I thought I would take a minute to show you some pictures of my kids.  One from last year, one recent.  It's kind of fun to see how they've grown and changed this year.  Olivia's has come more into herself.  She's gained some independence and confidence.  She is funny and wickedly smart.  Mia is still cuddly and needs that assurance that she's loved.  Sometimes, I think she is vocal about her love to make sure that her sister hears her.  She's crafty that way.

Here's Mia, working hard on coloring.  Something she couldn't care less about a year ago.

And because I love this picture, for the shoes, for the lighting, and I don't care how fat my legs look.

Linking up with the cool people, Gfunkified and Mamamash.
