Sorry for the technical difficulties this morning that locked the site down for over an hour. All is fixed now and as a bonus: load time should run faster. Yay! And special thanks to Will at Hostgator for being so patient with me and helping get things up and running again.
And We’re Back!

Thank goodness, I was getting all panicky, and my natural paranoia was kicking in, thinking maybe I´d never be able to read DW again!!! Then what would I do when I´m supposed to be cleaning???

Haha, me too, the two people who vowed to work/clean instead of surf DW. I bet Wendy did that so we could concentrate better. So very thoughtful of her.

I was thinking of you two also, you know, in between panic attacks of DW being down.

I actually thought for a second maybe it got blocked at my job and all I could think was Nooo! Haha, terrible that I might have to do more work and less Dear Wendy reading 😉
Ktfran October 7, 2011, 12:59 pm
I had the same thought. I hope work doesn’t monitor how much I’m on this site.
mcj2011 October 7, 2011, 2:35 pm
I did too. First Facebook and now Dear Wendy! Glad I was wrong :o)
silver_dragon_girl October 7, 2011, 12:48 pm
Me too! I was sitting here thinking, “what if something happened and the site is gone?! How will I KNOW?!?!?!”
And of course continuing to refresh at the normal, obsessive rate.
JK October 7, 2011, 12:52 pm
Glad to see I´m not the only one!!!

Alas! Our lives can resume! DW is back!

Cool. delete these posts if you would like.
Wendy October 7, 2011, 12:56 pm
I would never do that to you guys! If, for some reason, I ever decide to shut the site down, I will give notice so people can exchange email addresses and so forth. I worked for a site once that planned to shut things down without telling it’s many, many readers and I was appalled by that idea. Rest assured, I have more appreciation for you than that.

Can we do weekend open thread early this week? please please please? Its a holiday so some of us can’t come on over the weekend and want to talk about random things without being off-topic. (and by some of us, I clearly am talking about everyone else, and not me at all. nope, not me. … ok, its me.)
Eljay October 7, 2011, 2:19 pm
Oh thank goodness! I didn’t know what to do with myself! Well, work might have been an option, but just not feelin it today. 🙂
Welcome back DW’ers! I missed y’all!

Ditto. Hey Wendy, we’re nothing if not loyal!!!
