PLEASE UNSUBSCRIBE ME. I’ve tried many times through the “unsubscribe” link, but get nowhere. It’s an endless loop. I’ve tried “trash” and various other things. Please help. Keep writing, but not to me.

  Hi Lainey, if you’re subscribed through WordPress.com – the form in the sidebar – I’m afraid I don’t have much to do with that. You’ll have to log into your account, and contact WordPress.com help if needed. If you’re subscribed through an older system I had in place before, please forward one of the emails to me at bontasaurus@yahoo.com
