Site's back up, sort of.

I got a new hosting service and now my website is back up, sort of. You can type in the URL and get to my temporary home page. But my whole, entire site that I worked long and hard to get just right is on a broken Zip disk. So is my Pussy Games website and my Male Bashing website.

Sucks.

Fortunately I had my church's website on a completely different disk, so that's back up and active.

Maybe God's trying to tell me something.

Nah.

And now a FOURTH cat has gone missing



I'm so upset and so angry right now, that I really can't think straight enough to write anything that makes sense. I haven't seen Buster since Saturday. Why is someone taking my cats away from me. Don't they care how that affects me? And more important, don't they care about a harmless, loving animal's life?

What can I do?!

I lost my website. I had it on a Zip disk. Thought that was a good idea in case something happened to my computer. It was "backed up." Good habit, backing up your data. Well, unless you knock your Zip drive off the desk and your backup disk is inside. The Zip drive works fine, but my disk seems to be, um, broken. Can't read the disk.

No problem, really. I can go to my site and FTP/download the files.

Oops. Forgot to pay the monthly hosting fee and they closed my account. I called them to reopen my account and the guy on the phone at the number I was instructed by e-mail to call told me he couldn't re-open my account. I think he's an idiot because, well, why would they tell me to call that number for help if the person who answers the phone can't help me?! If that guy's not an idiot, someone is.

So, enough of that. I can probably find a cheaper host, right? I did. I signed up with a different, cheaper hosting service. Now I just have to get all the electronic i's dotted and t's crossed and, hopefully, I'll at least have somewhere to put my website, even if it has dissolved into the ozone.

I guess I need to start backing up the backup.

Didn't go, then did

I didn't go to work Tuesday. I called in sick. I went to work Wednesday, stayed for an hour, then came home. I went in today. I felt much better. I think my cold is almost gone. I still have some sniffles and coughing, but it's nothing compared to a few days ago. I had a fever and my body ached. Especially my ribs and back. I'm sure it was from coughing so much.

I'll miss the money I didn't earn those two days. There's a holiday coming up, though, so that'll mean an extra day's pay.

And I did work an extra two hours today. I was doing a reset and wanted to finish it before I left. Ain't I dedicated?!!

I'll take some "nighttime cold medicine" when I go to bed tonight, just to keep myself from coughing.

My lawn has been neglected for so long that I'm expecting to get a notice from the city. They do that. They send out notices if you haven't mowed your lawn for awhile. Even your back yard!!! That freaked me out. Why the hell would they care how my back yard looks? It's not like it's visible to the neighborhood. But I got a notice to mow my back yard last summer! The notice always says that if I don't mow it, the city will send someone over to mow it and then charge me for it! If I didn't think they'd charge way too much, I'd sit back and let them go ahead and mow it!

Part of my front yard actually belongs to the city. Maybe I should just mow the part that's mine and let them be responsible for the 10-foot section that belongs to them! Hmm. I wonder what would happen! Maybe, if they ever really piss me off. They actually own several feet of land in my back yard, too, now that I think of it!

There's an old Maxine cartoon that I taped up on my front door one year. Let me see if I can find it.
