Turning the laptop on its side is the only way I can keep the juice flowing.
The External Hard Drive of Doom arrived safely so that I can back up the laptop and get it healed.
The drives have been imaged. Then I ran the Vista M$ backup. THEN I copied every file as-is from the hard drive to the external.
Maybe you should be just a tetch more interested in site stats? Then you wouldn’t be lookin’ at this:
That first step is a DOOZY!
Please refer to the troubleshooting flowchart, specifically the segment that asks Is it after 1am? when you’re contemplating further changes to ANY plugins, decorations, and/or webby-type stuff.
Love,
You.
PS: Gold star, however, for making sure that at least ONE tracking code was hardcoded into the theme.
The Love to Learn Homeschool Resource and Information Conference will be held at Catawba Valley Community College Multipurpose Complex. From their website:
This conference was created to fill the need for up to date, accurate, unbiased, information concerning issues that affect the climate of homeschooling in North Carolina. We want to provide a variety of speakers and sessions on a wide array of homeschooling topics. There will be something for everyone from the beginning homeschool family to those more experienced. We invite you to visit our vendor area to peruse the latest in homeschooling resources and speak with those that create and/or sell items of interest.
Because I very firmly believe that the Family you choose is as important (if not moreso) than the family you’re born into, it thrills me to no end to introduce y’all to my shiny new oldest daughter Dori.
SQUEE!
It still won’t do the dishes.
can be found here. In that post, they will tell you exactly how much alcohol you can add before the gelatin will lose its structural integrity.
This post on the same site will tell you how to make some pretty tasty jello shots using liquers and different flavor combinations.
So please, go see those guys at My Science Project and leave my family-friendly (cuz there’s no booze innit!) Rainbow Jello alone. Mkay?
This blogpost brought to you in celebration of the 10billionth person to find my two-year old Rainbow Jello post by searching “can you make a jello shot that won’t melt”
I think by know everyone knows there is no instruction manual that comes with a freshly birthed baby. There are loads of books, but you have to pick and choose and try different things before you find one that works for your family. You hold your baby’s hand as they learn to walk, wincing as they wobble and applauding when they succeed. You teach your child how to navigate the world of cliques and bffs and finding themselves. You teach them how to make the choice that’s appropriate for *them* - which isn’t always the popular one.
And then they hit The Teen Years. It’s been documented that their brain has teh dumb. And yet this is when we expect them to choose a school track, learn how to manage a checkbook and McJob, learn how to drive a car and navigate the adult world. “They” tell you to talk to your teen about drugs, alcohol, and to Just Say No.
Do you know what’s missing from all the stuff “They” say?
How, exactly, are you “supposed” to handle it when your teen says “YES!!! There were drugs and alcohol and I had a *fine* time!!! Now come get me because I’m too effed up to drive.”
Do you flip your shit and slap them into rehab? Waggle your finger and say “Don’t you EVAR do that again”? Start researching boot camps, military schools, and wilderness programs?
What are you “supposed” to do when your teen says “Screw the rules. I can couchsurf if I have to. I have plenty of friends that’ll let me stay with them.”
Do you show them the door, bidding them good luck? Install bars on the windows and an alarm system so you’ll know when/if they try to get out?
What are you “supposed” to do when your teen calls two hours after curfew and says “Uh. Not comin’ home tonight. Not tellin’ you where I am. You don’t need to know who I’m with. Now stop CALLING me, you’re STRESSING me OUT!!!”
Do you call the police and ask for help? (And furthermore, what do you do when they can’t/won’t help?) Get in your car and start cruising the city? Enable the GPS on their cellphone?
I have friends who had babies at 14 and 15 (respectively). Their lives are good now, but were incredibly difficult then. How are you “supposed” to handle it when you try to talk to your teen about sex and they refuse to talk about it?
What are you “supposed” to do?
Once upon a time, in a horridly ugly alternate universe, there lived a Scary Webpage. Although the images weren’t indexed by the Wayback Machine, thanks to a friend, I can show you it.
Click the image if you want to biggie-size it. Also? A different friend sent the image to me as-is and the artist’s signature is not legible. If you recognize the artwork, holla - I’d love to give credit where credit is due.
Unfortunately, this was not my first webpage.
This was. Well, sort-of. I’m not sure if this is Tig’s creation or mine and he’s not available to ask. (More than likely I coded a page and then he went back and “fixed” it.) I’m fairly sure that both of these pages were created in Dreamweaver.
On the blogging side of things, I can tell you that somewhere around April of 2004 I moved from Moveable Type (please dear gawd don’t ask me what version) to WordPress 1.0.2 and haven’t looked back once.
Between the generation of that first webpage (2002) and my conversion to WordPress (2004) I realized that I am Not A Coder. Ask me a question, I can find an answer for you. Ask me to code something for you and my brain will explode (and not in the shimmery pretty fireworks kinda way either).
Like much of the rest of my life, I’m sure coding would prove to be easy if I Would Just Apply Myself a Bit More but nah. I’d rather let Matt and The Developers handle that side of things. Why reinvent the wheel, after all?
This post is my response to Lorelle, kickin’ my bloggin’ ass.
