@Ragman,
It pissed me off that I didn't wait and see. Too reactive! Well, I did, but not until I deleted some, a small amount relative to what's stored there. I had been thinking photobucket was getting weird (they're trying new stuff) lately so Pitter's confusion met with my own. (I like Pitter). And then, any birdbrain should have figured that would be dumb of photobucket to do.
I also deleted some photos from an a2k get together, now a quiet thread, but I should put them back too. (Not this week, other stuff going on)
An offshoot of Katy getting way better is that she doesn't have as much need to get up and get me up in the middle of the night. Her sleeping form by the bed is doubly pleasurable to see.
