:)

I might become famous for my "the end" posts.. last one was in July 2004, I think. We worked it out, and things got better. Then things got worse, then somewhat better for a while. Then I went a vacation for the first week of July. Here's some photos [share.shutterfly.com] that a friend took. See if you can spot me :) There are some duplicates too.. sorry, it's not my album, I'm just the messenger.

Ahem, I got off track.

Every day since I got back on the the 8th, life has thrown a curveball at me. Every single day! Today, it was disclosed that I was to terminate all services on my three web sites, we are closing the door. Holy $#it!

There's a bit of stress around here, but frankly I didn't see this coming. Stressful things include:

  • Our former owner was sentenced to 20 years last week for his misbehaving. He'll do five if he's really good, and survives.
  • A teenage daughter (not mine, thank God) who is being a teenager.
  • Lack of competent employees. Maybe I really am what they say behind my back :) *
  • My own personal favorite, we have the fox guarding the henhouse.

    Still, it's all rather unexpected, closing down this way. I've made a call and implored someone with some influence to try to intervene. Other than that, tonight could be your last chance to buy my widgets, so come on down :)

    I'll be real happy to survive another day and live to post another "the end is near".

    What do you think of that?

    The one website I know is still acessible - have things turned out for the good?
