As for your comments not going through, I've had that happen to me too on occasion so think nothing of it. Your comments are pretty much always there so if you miss one, I'd think something had kept you from being able to do it - not that you'd deliberately not commented! :)La Nightingailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04769079547153094005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2654707306721822289.post-17243183127413993222017-07-02T05:09:17.506-11:002017-07-02T05:09:17.506-11:00It's a super photo from around the 1890s, and ...It's a super photo from around the 1890s, and I think they are volunteer firemen in Hastings, Nebraska. In the 1893 Hastings NE city directory, Robert Jarvis worked as a clerk for Wells Fargo Express, and H.H. Stine, first name Howard, had a Flour & Feed store. The middle name is harder to read but it may be Wm. Thomas, and he shows up in the 1885 Nebraska census for Hastings. <br /><br />In 1891 the population of Hastings, NE was 13,630, and its Fire Department had both a Hose Company and a Hook & Ladder Company. <br /> <br />I've had problems earlier this year leaving comments using the Chrome browser, often on your blog too. I discovered it was a ad-block extension that prevented Google cookies from tracking me as I roamed the internet. I un-blocked it and was recognized again. Ain't the internets wonderful?

But sometimes it seems the post goes through, nothing on the screen about it being accepted or waiting for approval, so I figure everything must still be okay. I move onto the next blog post. For awhile I would copy each post so I could paste it back in if I found it didn't go through. Of course this last time I didn't do that.

Usually when I comment on a post it tells me it’s been published - sometimes awaiting approval. Little Nellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11862657943846727987noreply@blogger.com
