Scram! looks a little bare. Help with the links? Or suggest links? Or suggest huge buttons to fill up the page? I have a weird fetish that content should never be shorter than the side bar. Hence my long posts.
On the plus side, I am relieved from work until September 6th, though Dennis is going back tomorrow. Chloe and DW go back to school Monday. So in a couple of days, I’ll be bored out of my mind, while trapped at home, while my twins sleep, Hayley sleeps, and my father-in-law sleeps while on the toilet. I’m sure the dishes, laundry and bed making will be done in a couple of hours, so I’ll need something else to occupy my time. What better excuse to work on my site! So help me out here! Suggest or add a link!
Before anyone else requests it: I have talked to Matt, asking that he tone things down here. He has his own site for being a bitch to everyone on. I have a little dignity: To qualify for my eternal Queen Bitch attitude, you have to have fucked me over good. Like steal my content, lie to me about the worst possible things, or lie about me. I have no tolerance for liars and thieves. Other than that, we’re good. 
I am looking for a new webhost. Seems like all I do lately. Beg for hosting, update once or twice a month with actual content that people actually care about, go back into hiding. I’m really turned off to free hosts, such as Blogger and wordpress.com, and I really don’t want to have to pay for domain hosting or to have a blog. I’m thinking of just begging people to host me, but there’s that factor of the person may or may not cancel my site while I’m sleeping. That’s always something I worry about. So, I spend some good time making friends with people who have Dreamhost accounts or have their own servers. Then, after about a year, I ask for hosting. The friend I’ve made is the icing on the cake.
Recently, if my Oxy-abused brain serves me right, I was told that the friend who currently hosts this site, and all of my sites as well as Matt’s site, is leaving the web. This leaves me with a few options:
1. Grovel back to Typepad.com.
2. Grovel back to Josh.
3. Find a free domain host who will let me cuss and rant and rave and not remove my site.
4. Actually pay for webhosting.
5. Throw in the towel.
I have left off finding a new friend to host me because, frankly, I don’t trust people anymore, if I don’t know them face-to-face. Sorry. It’s just too easy to hide behind the keyboard these days.
So, that leaves the one or two people who still come here with some options:
1. Recommend me a good host. Free hosts first. No referrer shit.
2. Comment and tell me to put on my big girl panties and actually pay for webhosting.
3. Buy me hosting.
4. Nothing.
Advice would be nice, especially since I’ve had a pretty shitty day at work. I had to work a double shift because Lance came in the lab and took advantage of me sitting at the table with ear buds in, snuck up behind me, and slapped his hands over my eyes. He says he asked, “GUESS WHO?!” and I didn’t hear him, but body-slammed him. I tore my ear buds off to give him hell for that. “What are you doing?!” “OW….[sobs] I was just playing! GAWD, what’s wrong with….OW!!” It turns out I dislocated his shoulder. As a peace offering, I worked his shift while he laid in the hospital trying not to get addicted to the morphine the nurses gave him.
Back to the hosting thing.
Any recommendations?
There Is No Title
Links as promised! I have yet to edit my tool bar because I can’t get my brain to work tonight. I’ve been weird all damned week. What’s wrong with me? We’re getting some new contributors here soon. Someone other than Matt. 
I have some pictures I need to upload, and I need to make this place better, but I can’t get motivated. Doc Mick left me three messages today. You know it’s not good when the specialist himself leaves you messages. Too bad my phone was dead for a good part of today. I missed some fun.
I’m doing loved-link-backs on my site sometime today. If you have a public blog or site, and want a link back, just leave me a comment or message and let me know if you have a button or want a text link. I’m going to try to do them later on tonight, but I’m still groggy from getting my wisdom tooth yanked today.
Funny thing: The dentist did not have any packing gauze in his office, so he asked me if I had anything to pack the socket at home, assuming that because I’m a nurse/graduated from biomed, I have all this medical stuff at home. I hate it when doctors assume that. So… I nodded. “What do you have? This is a huge hole.” “I got some free tampons in the mail back in April. They’re Super, so I could use those.” His face was getting red. “Uh, you might want something more flat.” “Oh. They sent me free pads and panty liners in with the tampons too.” Now his face was beet red. “I mean medical packing gauze. Do you have any?” Needless to say, the good doc doesn’t have a sense of humor.
I’m going to put together a links page for this site. Yes, I’m finally going to sit down, shift through the pages, and try to minimize things here. Simplify. Clean house. Those kinds of things.
Sites that are automatically going on the links page:
Gay Arab Guy
Mona
Rebecca
Zezbel
Mike’s Place
Anyone else want to be linked? Leave a comment and let me know! I’d love a link back, but it’s not really required. And leave a comment and let me know you’ve linked to me. That’s an automatic add.
And if your site breaks the disclaimer, I may not link to you.
I’m getting somewhat close (ok, in the ballpark) to my 500th comment. So I have a little contest. Whoever makes the 500th comment on this blog will get 500 Entrecard credits, and when I get my blogroll going, they will be the first link on there. To make things interesting, I’m not going to say how close or far away I am from that 500th comment, so if you want to win, you probably should comment every day. Comments that say things like “nice layout” or whatnot are not counted and they’ll be deleted, unapproved.
So…
What are you waiting for?? Get commenting!
I have some pictures I want to post when I get home. Have fun everyone.
I just cleaned up this site to perfection. Anyone know anything different on here?
Since I just spent the last six hours tweaking the layout and purging the server, I’m going to bed. I’m nowhere near done with working on this, but I’ve already watched Saw VI three times and my laptop battery is dying. So it’s off to bed with me! I shall post a little more later on.
If this is happening to you when you try to comment, rest assured, as of right now, I am getting my comments. I don’t know what’s up with that error message, but I’m getting multiple comments and emails of comment notification (hey, I wanted comments!) and I really don’t know what’s wrong. If all else fails, you can email me. This is just one of the many reasons I want to move back to WordPress, but I can’t get a decent theme for it. I want this theme, but that’s probably not going to happen. I deleted some of the plugins I had, and it works now. I don’t know which one was causing the error, probably “comment challenger” but some of the plugins I installed never showed up. Bleh. You have to be a programmer to get this software to run smoothly. :\
My phone crashed last night. Crashed and burned and I lost all my contacts and the password to my voicemail. The roads are still icy and I can’t even get to the grocery store, so I can’t get to the phone store and get my voicemail password or my contacts back. I pay extra for that to be backed up, and I can’t use it. 
So if you’ve called or texted me, try it again. So very sorry for all of this.
Our relationship isn’t going any better. We’re still not communicating normally. Whatever that is. I wanted to call Mark and ask him if I could stay with him if things got bad, but I don’t have his number anymore (thankyouverymuch phone crash!) and that would just be awkward anyway. I don’t know what I’m going to do at this point. Cry? Panic? Over-correct on medicine to compensate? I sleep 14 hours at a stretch the way it is. The depression is coming on thick. I need to do something. I just don’t know what that is.
