OPT OUT

  Today I tried to figure out a solution for my photo import issues to my photo blog. It came with Apple's new version of Photos, a switch over from iPhoto. So far all I've learned is others are having the same issue and I have no real solution yet.
  Then came more bad news. A warning on my blogger work page where stats are shown told me I have to tell my readers in EU about cookies as their law requires it. Heck I have no clue what cookies I use nor where to get the button that tell others. What I did find was a page of complicated instructions on how to opt out of the stats that Google posts that I didn't opt for to begin with.
  Is it time to say goodbye to blogging? I have enjoyed all the writing and commenting but now I'm getting a bit fed up with all the pushing and pulling as the big companies bully small fries like me around watching my every move and picture too.
  I am always curious and love to learn but lately what I learn is unpleasant because fear is being pushed at me more and more. 
Are you experiencing any of this type of angst? Is it really getting bad or is it just me being negative and frustrated???

P.S. I did get in touch with the family in Ottawa and we had a great chat
