HELLO!!

[mimi]

So sorry for the outage. A team of 4 people were up all night last night and all day today fixing the server that blew up. It seemed like a long, long time to us but I'm sure it was even longer for them.

I hope nobody's withdrawal symptoms were too severe. Mine were quite uncomfortable.

Again, many apologies and thanks for hanging in there.

btw, the search works now, too.

Oh Happy Days!!!!! I have been trying to get on all day and even>>>

just posted a post at the "other" place looking for anyone as panicked as me. I know Mimi you said the other day not to panic but....8o) I feel all better now.

 

[rvb]

not to worry, mimi. it only took me...

4 glasses of bourbon and maalox to make it through the day.

 

[orchid]

Oh man...why didn't I think of that?!

 

[carianna-in-wa]

Oh thank goodness.... hyperventillating easing up now!

Never realized how many times a day I pop in for a fix till I couldn't get in.

Happy sigh of relief!

Too funny! I agree with both you and Carianna. Never realized how often I check in!! Tx Mimi & FK

The warning you gave earlier this week said that the entire forum could disable...

...because of the part that malfunctioned.

I was hoping the down time was due to the new part being installed and not a total collapse of the system.

Whew!

Thank the techies for me, and if you were one of them, go get some sleep!

Thanks,

Michael

 

[mimi]

No I'm afraid (or glad!) I wasn't among them, the whole thing is pretty much over my head.

 

[michael-in-phoenix]

More than one swapper sent me an email -charged with varying levels of...

...angst.

I think so many of us are still saddened (and on a slow burn) by what went on 'over there', that it's hard not to get worried when this site goes down.

and I thought it was my poor old 'putor..I called the fix-it chap to come....

right on over..he can't till Fri...so now I will just have to call him and say...never mind...Whew! Thanks Mimi and all for everything.

Thanks to you and the techs for getting my favorite board working.

I was wondering how long the symptoms of withdrawl would last.

 

[barb_b]

"you" should = both rvb and orchid!
