I’m Back.

Published by Ree at 9:00 pm under Computer Crap, Real Life

Sniff. Did you miss me? I broke Hotfessional.com. Well, I didn’t. It broke. Because of a really strange month of posting and hits that used up my bandwidth. It was a new high in views of this site, and I never thought I’d run out of freakin’ bandwidth. I mean, who am I? Bossy? Kristabella? Kelley? PsychicGeek? (she ran out, too) Puh-leeze.

But look! I’m back! You’re not imagining it - no matter how much you’ve been drinking. My hosting service (lick him!) gave me more bandwidth. He’s the greatest. Inexpensive, sure, which is good, because, notice —> no ads. Which means I pay for the damn thing my own damn self. But with all of the posts I’ve written and read lately about crappy customer service, this guy responds! He had PsychicGeek and Hotfessional back up and running - on a Sunday night - within a couple of hours. Got that? Sunday night.

Scorp Web Solutions. Remember that name. Send him good karma. If my tubes weren’t tied, I’d offer to have his children. Instead, I’m telling you all what a great guy he is. (Which helps, because, y’know, I would have to explain to Mr. Hot.)

So, before my whole heart attack thing there, I was going to post pictures from our walk today. So, here they are.

When I talk about dull and dreary Michigan in the winter? Suck ass snow and slush and wind? This is what I’m talking about:









There’s a huge pond out there past the platform.






“Mom. I think I pooped here last spring!”

    That doesn’t look that dreary - you have to think glass half full, not half empty. Think of the beautiful simplicity in a stark white landscape.

    (The lack of fresh air, from staying inside to avoid the cold, may be getting to me…)

    It’s great that you’re back up. I was checking my RSS feeds the other night, and yours didn’t work, and I actually started to panic.

    Great pictures by the way. I love the snow. I once described the teasels in your last picture as “spiky pine cone-y things”. My parents laughed. Welcome to my childhood… :)

    I hate that freak out feeling you get when anything computer or internet related decides not to work. No fun at all. Kudos to the guru who fixed you on a Sunday night. Good man there.

    As for the dreary-ness (dreariness?), it looks about like that here, except our snow recently melted. So now, it’s just all muddy and dreary. I can’t wait for spring!

    You keep me entertained.

    I miss that weather. being in Nuclear summer Texas, I would prefer nuclear winter anywhere. I can always get warm, but I can only get so naked, and that would be a WMD.

    I grew up in the area north of NYC, we had winters like that, skating on the ponds, snow most of the winter, yeah, like those scenes.
