Bad Monday.

Is this the start of a nightmare week?

Just visited my website today to discover that my domain had expired on the 2nd Dec (without any warnings or notifications from my hosts, which is unusal for them)

My site is now showing as a nice spammy style holding page - I'm hoping I can get it renewed as I can't afford to loose my domain!

To top this, all the sites I host (with a reseller account) are run off dns servers that are subdomains of the same domain, so I'm just waiting for all of those to drop off the 'net too....

ARRRGH!

I hate Mondays!

Similar recently happened to me, and I realised too late and lost my domain.

Consoled myself with the fact that the domain name wasn't great anyway, and took the opportunity to rebrand with a better new one.

Might you have changed email addresses from the one where the notifications were sent?

No, it just must have got lost in transmission or spammed.

Still, Monday ended well. Managed to get the domain renewed and moved into my domain reseller account so it won't happen again in the future.

Panic over! :-)

Hey, I started my Monday by first stepping in a pile of dog poop in my slippers.

Then, a few hours later, I stepped in another pile of poop in my loafers.

They're all over the yard, little doggie landmines, hidden amongst the leaves. It's fall. We slow down our mine-sweeping when it gets cold. Also, seems all the neighbor's dogs like to visit our dog and leave her gifts. Popular gal. Senior matron of the neighborhood. Guess they're just paying their respects, right?

Now, should this experience - stepping in 2 piles of poop in 1 day - upset me?

Noooooooo.

Stepping in sh*t brings you good luck! So, stepping in it twice in one day means I'll be twice as lucky, if not more. :)

>>>stepping in a pile of dog poop

I'll see your stinky fouled footwear and raise you with a wisdom tooth that feels like its gonna bust through my jaw. I'll also toss into the pot a head cold severe enough that my dog won't even be in the same room as me for fear of catching it.

Oh, and I have DNS issues as well.

Call?

I would say the hand you've been dealt wins pmac.

Dare I say, from a safe distance, that I am humored by your pain?

Hang in there. Given enough time the pain will eventually go away. :-P
