As the weekend begins, the anticipation mounts. Many of you will be celebrating with fireworks, picnics, trips...and whatever you do, have a safe, sane holiday!
Today I'll be seeing a movie with a friend. This is one I've been anticipating for awhile.
Afterwards...a nice, quiet lunch.
Now for the changes I referenced in the blog title. Since I live in California, I fall victim to a recent change in the law that has discontinued the Amazon Associates program for residents. Yes, sadly...
At first, the e-mail I received indicated that nothing would change until September...and even alluded to the possibility that things wouldn't change. But then the law passed, and it's all over.
So I removed all of my Amazon "buy buttons," since they go nowhere now. Except for one that leads to the page where I bought the e-book myself. Apparently that one still works. But no affiliate payments. Nada.
Now if I've learned anything in life, it's that the one constant is change. So you'd think I'd be used to it by now. It's not like the world has ended, or the bottom fallen out...but sometimes, when change requires various adjustments like this one, it does feel like "the end."
Some of you may know of other recent changes impacting daily life for those of us who are "soap opera" fans. Cancellations, etc.
Well, maybe something new will come along and take the place of the old. We can hope.
Meanwhile, on this blog, and on my Rainy Days and Mondays site, I've adjusted the layout; next I'll be pondering substitutions to fill the void on my page.
I'll also be visiting other friends who use Blogger for new, creative ideas!

It's a shame that soap operas are being cancelled, but maybe something similar to the telenova will take their place? I'd watch something with a definite end.
The thing I disliked most about soap operas is the you could miss a week or two and pick things right back up, as the storylines were so long and drawn out. Watched a wedding storyline once that spent three days on the mother-of-the-groom getting dressed! :o
Yes, that aspect of soap operas is frustrating...and I really don't like those cliffhangers on Fridays!
When there are secrets that the viewer knows, but that take FOREVER for the characters to discover (sometimes years!), I think there must be a better way.
Maybe I'll talk myself into not missing them...but then...LOL
Anyway, thanks for stopping by, Alexia.
Change is a constant. It always takes an adjustment. Sorry about the Amazon Aff. prog.
Definitely....but time and adjustments march on.
Thanks for stopping by, Tea.
Wow: I had heard about the CA Amazon saga, but didn't realize that it would have this impact for CA book bloggers. I'm sorry to hear that.
Thanks for stopping by, Laurie....I'll be searching for something new to replace the old.
