I made a comment on the previous post about the Poland trip. I hope I did not offend you in some way since the comment was not published.
Really, it wasn’t? I quite enjoyed it and I approved and liked it!
I am so sorry for bothering you with my question. The thing is, on my mobile devices, iPhone and iPad, I don’t see the message. I am not at home. Maybe I could see the message on my MacBook at home? I think I posted from there. Please forgive me for troubling you with my technical problem.
No problem!
