Too tired for tech

 So.  We've lost the email delivery of blog posts to subscribers.  I saw the notice on the dashboard and assumed there would be an alternative posted.  Nah-uh.  But eventually I found that going to 

https://feedburner.google.com/

while logged into your Google account will allow you to download your subscriber list.  I had several hundred more under the Publish tab than the Analyze tab.  Mine went to Word Pad, and I saved them.  No idea where they go from there.  Mail Chimp?  Any suggestions?  What are most of you doing regarding subscribers through email?

We got the estimate to level, add dirt, and seed the the destruction of back, side and front.  It must settle for three weeks weeks first, and then another eight grand.  I would consider renting equipment but this requires hand work and raking for 160' x 25' of ground.  No way.  Even if the gravel, rocks and roots were gone.  I scolded husband several times because he trusts people that seem sincere.  The agreed price without a contract (I insisted on one, husband said not necessary), was much higher.  He claims we told him the pipe would be paid by us and even then, charged double the cost.  I was PO'd with all the other expense and told him that it was never mentioned.  He gave us a price not once saying that is without the pipe.  But without a contract, nothing we could do.  I hope he learned his lesson.

It is so hard to find honest and inclusive help these days. Who would ever think the job didn't include the pipe? Never heard of such a thing. Sorry you are having one irritating hurtle after another!

As a friend of mine says, "Life's a sh** sandwich, take another bite". So sorry for all your aggravation and expense. Sometimes you just can't win.

Sorry, I'm no real help on the blog mail list thing. From memory and reading other needlework & quilt blogs, it *seems* like many are moving to a service with chimp(?) or monkey(?) in the name? At least you got the email addresses saved, that's a good first step.

Yikes on that yard work situation. Contracts are a good thing, especially when dealing with people who seem sincere.
