Blogger Who? Blogger Where? What!?
Whew.
I am back!
And (so far) My Blog Is WORKING.
Again.
Yes.
I know.
That.
Was AWFUL.
I tried warning everyone. I knew there was the possibility of a blog vanishing act for 2-4 days…however I never expected to see this sort of message when I tried logging into my site:
“THIS ACCOUNT HAS BEEN SUSPENDED”
Scary.
I know.
So. Unexpected.
And.
Very. Unsettling.
(And I thought moving into The Parents was going to be hard. Who knew switching webhosts would be so much tougher?)
I am so sorry that when ya’ll tried to visit my humble corner of the Internet it seemed as though my blog no longer existed.
At. All.
Not Cool.
There were moments in time, when I was just as concerned and nervous.
Especially when I didn’t even have access to any of my emails. Wha? No Emails? Yikes. (What ever did we do before email?)
Aside from being 100 % cut-off and disconnected, do you guys have any idea how many blog posts I do not have saved in ‘Word’.
Or anywhere else!!
(Duh.)
[I could have easily copy-pasted-dated-and-saved-every-entry. But no. I did not. Why? Because I am lazy.]
Anyway, I have spent the last year(s) of my blogging life, foolishly depending and counting on the Internet and/or a Web-Host to preserve my precious memories and of course the mundane details of my daily life.
I used to keep a hand written journal. Hell. I’ve kept a journal since I was 9 years old, because yanno, things were really important back then, they needed to be documented and recorded. Right? But. Since I have become a blogger, I haven’t hand written much of anything.
Hmm…
*Thinks about buying a new journal first thing in the morning.*
Anyway. It feels great to be back.
(Except that I am exhausted. But for reasons that are non-blog related.)
Also, I think? I might need a new system. I am too scared to depend soley on the power of the Internet anymore.
One last thing, I’ve learned that I lean entirely too hard on my entire blog roll. That/this is the only place where I keep track of all of you guys. Not having access to blog / or my blogroll prevented me from being able to visit all of you.
THAT (not being able to get to your pages) was torture (for me).
I have a lot of catching up to do.
I need to give a very Big Thank You to my girl Leslie, for to dealing WITH ALL OF THIS in order to get my blog back up again and running smoothly.
I *love* you forever.
Now, that this is all over with, I may resume my ‘normal activities’.
What a fantastic way to start the day! I think I’ll follow suit!
Thank goodness! I was having a meltdown all weekend because your sites weren’t working. 🙂 Soooo happy to have you back.
Hurrah! You’re back 🙂 Phew, that must have been sooo annoying!!! Have you finger nails left? I’d have chewed mine to the knuckles…lol!
Anywayz, a big warm welcome back and a big warm hug to follow <>
Kindest regards, Graham xoxox
🙂 You’re good to go now – no more down times or anything.
Glad to see you back and in full effect. You’ve been missed. You can put all that headache behind you and blog on with your bad self.

Terri:

CMK:
Me too me too.
Graham
Nope. I am finger-nail-less.
Leslie:
I cannot THANK YOU enough. xxoo
Urban:
I missed all of you soooo much. I am just glad its over!
Dazd:
me either. I couldn’t type at first either. I was too excited to have access.
WELCOME BACK!! WOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
I am relieved for you. I can certainly relate to your blog not working (or having to remove it so you don’t get stalked by crazies who are obsessed with the fact that you are gay and want to document every comment you or any of your friends leave anywhere in cyberspace as if it will help convince a judge that you are an unfit mother!) Glad to see you back up and running.
Peace Out
Welcome backkkkkkkk Melly mannellyyyyyyyy
hugs and lots of xo’s
Welcome back, lady.
Ricardo:
Thank you. Its good to BE back. This is the first time I have had access to even the Momma Mia emails…(It might take me at least an entire day to sift through all of those messages).
GrrlBeingStalkedByCrazies:
I have no idea how you have put up with all of that for so long. You know that I am here for you (always) except when you cant access my blog or send me emails. hahahaha Glad to be back. Awaiting YOUR return.
FV:
*waving hi back to you*
Bob G:
🙂 I missed ya’ll sooooooo much. I cant wait to finish going through all my emails….and then visit all of your blogs! xxoo xxoo
G’s. Glad thats over…I was annoyed by not having the virtual you on the internet.
And we’re BACK! Nice to see you up and running again 😀
Poor sweetie. Seriously. Blog problems are worse that a wholeotta things that I can think of. So w00t! and party on, girl! Oh, and thanks for leading me to smoke rings and coffee stains (did I get that right?) I found it months ago and didn’t save it, so you know what that means. Good luck finding it again!
YAY. YAY. And YAY again. Life just wasn’t the same without you. So glad you’re back. And a high five to Leslie. You are seriously talented!
Uh…hello?!! Friends share pills with friends!
Seriously, I was WORRIED! Glad to see all is okay now!
YAY!!! I am SO GLAD you’re back. I was seriously starting to have withdrawls. And I really glad to see I’m not the only one drunk and full of pills…..
I missed you!! xxoo
BFF:
at least you get to see me in real life.
Dawn:
Yes we are BACK. Thats was scary!
KellyPea:
I know. I never really send out mass emails, but since I was receiving so many emails and messages on blgcatalog and mybloglog asking where is my blog…I figured it would be easier to just send everyone over for the explanation as to WHAT the hell and WHERE the HELL my blog went.
“Account Has Been Suspended” was alarming to see!
What was so worse?
THIS EMAIL:
Your web hosting account for mommamiameaculpa.com has been deactivated (reason: suspicious activity on this account) Although your web site has been disabled, your data may still be available for up to 30 days, after which it will be deleted.
That sort of made me a wreck. Thankfully I trust Leslie 100%, but still, an email like that would throw anyone off. (or at least give them slight internal panic attacks. )
Selma:
Yes indeed. Now just as soon as I can get out and back on to the Internet (to real off your blogs) I will feel sooooo much better.
MoMo:
You can have any pills you want! And I am majorly relieved my blog is back to normal.
Chef Mom:
Drunk and Full Of Pills is just about the ONLY way I could have survived the blog move. I handled moving into The Parents better than moving my blog!
Let’s party she is back whoohooo..:)))
ahaa!!!! there you are,,, i just came from the other update so i could see what had happened… what a maniacal mess!!!!! i am so glad it has been cleared up.. i know i would have been freaking!!!!
welcome back~
Drunk and full of pills, huh? Careful, or you may need to start going to meetings with me, kiddo.
Glad you got everything sorted out and you’re back among us. I kind of panicked when I got the “contact customer service” message. 🙂
Robert:
Hell yes. P-A-R-T-Y time it is.
Paisley:
Dood. You know I cant handle being cut off from the Internet. But I have learned that lean way too hard on my blogroll to stay in touch with all of you. I need a new system. That was AWFUL.
Candace:
Thanks. Man Its glad to be back
Lee:
Been down that road. O please the “contact customer service” people weren’t even AVAILABLE until today. Gah.
YAY!:)
AAAWWWWW, Can ya feel the love??!! I’m so feeling the love for ya…..especially after the screwdriver I just had. HAHAHA
¡Bienvenida de vuelta! 🙂
Yep, blog troubles are so annoying. My last run in with pop up ads scared the tar out of me. Everything looks great here today!
Love the picture … reminds me of something hanging up in an old garage – with slightly different wording (LOL!!!)
Setting sail for blogosphere island, Captain Meleah 🙂
THANK GAWD!!!!!!!!!!
Why/how did this happen anyway?
I want to learn more about backing up my blog…..
Olly:
I know.
Chef mom:
Mad love woman
Rog:
🙂
Speedy:
I can only IMAGINE the headaches Leslie had to go through. Dealing with the webhost people, and my driving her Bat.Shit. Crazy. with my insane stress over the whole situation. I just cant wait to spend the day catching up with everyone.
Olga:
I have NO IDEA how to back up my blog. And I should really figure that out / learn it for myself. g-d forbid something should ever happened to Leslie…or what if the host tech error dude erased posts…*SHUDDER* to think of any of those things. All questions like that need to be directed to Leslie. She is the smarty pants GURU like no other. She knows all things blogs. internet. ect. Im just a blogger without a cause or a clue.
I too, got the suspended account thing the other day. I was really worried that somehow I missed a post about where to find you from now on and now I would never find your site again! glad to know that wasn’t the case and happy to “see” you again!
WELCOME BACK!!!!!!!!
Phew! So glad you’re back. I checked on you earlier and wondered what was up. Yay!!!
aaahhh… so there you is.
thought maybe some hollywood starlink discovered you and the two of youse had run off to Aruba or some other exotic locale.
glad to see you beat the bugger into submission and that it is fully cooperating now.
meow.
Glad you’re back too. I saw the message and was like, ‘whoa!’. You’re lucky you got everything back. As you know I lost all my stuff. Well not me but my stupid old web host. I dropped them like a hot potato.
Beth:
Dood that error was so shocking / upsetting. Thankfully we seem to be running better / faster than ever. WHEW
*wipes sweat off brows*
Michael C:
xxoo xxoo and now we can finally email again! xxoo xxoo
Brillig:
I know right? Finally. Its all good again.
Sauerkraut:
Im here!
Rolando:
No Way. No Fucking way. I would have flipped out if my posts / comments/ photos / movies were gone. Thats way to upsetting to even think about
THANK GOODNESS YOU ARE BACK!
It was about two years or so ago that I got that same message from Blogger and freaked out. I moved to Typepad but really need to rethink all this too.
Glad you are back where you belong 🙂
Glad to see you are back on track, how effing stressful this must have been.
I’m switching from Blogger to WordPress this week, keeping my fingers crossed that it all goes smoothly. :/
Phew, for a moment there I thought you packed and high tailed it out of here! Glad you got that sorted out Meleah …
Welcome back, baby!!! Drunk and full of pills is a wonderful way to cope with the idiocity of the internetz!!
I hated blogger and I learned realllllly fast to save copies, but I too have gotten lazy. I’m gonna copy all of ’em now!!!
xoxoxo !!!
Barbara:
Im thrilled to be back. Thanks darling.
(ps…I dont use blogger. I use Word Press)
ChelleB:
Good Luck! xxoo
Nick:
Never. Well, at least not yet. I have no plans on leaving or quitting blogging any time soon.
Catsctratch:
I havent used blogger in about a year. I have Word Press. But I used to write all of my posts in Word and save them, but I have become lazy and write directly into the blog. I think from now on (just in case) I am going back to writing everything in WORD and copy pasting it into WP.
Welcome back!
Nice to see you back! Thanks for the warning…I should save my posts too!
Oh God, I would have a heart attack if my blog disappered
Ahh, Huston we have a problem! Just now… it took me 3 tries to get to your blog. The first two times a sign came up that there was a “problem with the owners server”. But I finally got here. I will look on your about page to see if I can get your e-mail. I have an idea, or two that might help you a bit.
Mimzie:
OOoh I missed you too!
Jenna:
Its nice to be back.
Freelance:
I did have a heart attack. But I trusted the very capable hands of my BFF (and blogger GURU) to rescue my ass. Whew.
Awake:
I know. I was down all weekend. No one could get in and the error messages were upsetting! Things are all better now. 🙂
Just think, if all of this would have happened today (April 1) you could have said it was a great, elaborate April Fool’s Day joke! 😀
So glad you’re back.
Stop being a drama queen about this. A) I warned you 2 – 4 days. b) I also keep TELLING YOU I back up your blog weekly already. You are fine.
And I Love you too. 😉
CMK:
THAT would have been a nice ‘April Fools’ Day Joke. (NOT!) Thats too scary!
Leslie:
Me? A Drama Queen? Never. (yeah right) I *love* you FOREVER N EVER N EVER N EVER N EVER…..and I soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo lucky that you back my shit up.
