Oh My Words

Why don’t links work in the Medium App????

Using the Medium App, I can’t open links to Pubs, can’t search and find Pubs… What’s up with that?

Maybe I’m a complete and total moron but I have put links in my stories and tested them from my computer. But when I go into the Medium App — they don’t work. What the heck is up with that????

For instance, here is a link to my Pub that I’m using as my writing blog — it is actually the very same place I have published this story. Oh My Words

I even took a snapshot of what the link says it is:

Link to Oh My Words Pub

So, I am quite confident that I have it correct. The test will be when I go into the Medium app and attempt to open the link.

For some reason, anytime I have searched for Pubs inside the Medium App, I can’t find them. And if I attempt to open a Pub from someone’s story, it just gives me a grayed out screen of never ending nothingness. I don’t get it. Frustrating as “all get out” as we said as kids. I’d like to say something much stronger — as in a LOT stronger. But if I were guessing I’ve used my allotment of the “F” word probably for three future lifetimes — maybe more. I guess if that is the case, I’ll have to come up with some other expletive to screech in rage.

Now I’ve done that mind tunnel thing or thought hopping is what I actually call it. Or the rabbit hole. Maybe it’s an adult ADHD thing, although I’ve never been diagnosed with it, but a friend I respect and admire told me that he believed I was because he is and he recognizes a lot of the same things in me. Sigh… I don’t know, perhaps if I have to have something, that is the least thing to have. I just figure I’m bat shit crazy and getting close to my expiration date sooner than I want to. I’m definitely going to procrastinate in opening that door for another 30 to 40 years. I have a lot of living to do.

But getting back to expletive. There is just something about an f-bomb that lets the world know you are crazy mad. I think it is the “awwwwk” noise drawn out or said forcefully that makes it work. I can’t imagine what other word would provide a similar release. The crazy part is, I lived in New Orleans for three years and I rarely if ever cussed. Anyone around me here would likely think me a liar to say such a thing. But only when I am in Oklahoma do I cuss and it gets bad sometimes. It shames me but apparently not enough to stop me. I honestly think it has something to do with my level of happiness. Because when I feel good about life, I don’t seem to cuss at all. But when I’m frustrated and miserable, that good old f-bomb will fly way too often.

And right now, this whole corrupted, non-working link thing in the Medium App has me about ready to blow out so many f-bombs that I will have used my quota for the next seven future lifetimes.

I guess I better really start looking for a new expletive….

If you have problems with links, please let me know so that I know I’m not in this alone. And if you have a remedy, I’d love to hear it.
