Site Outage & Our Birthday

LVL--Brought to you by Monsanto (4.00 / 8)

I'll bet Monsanto was just minutes away from buying this domain name out from under you.  Happy birthday LVL!

The corporate buyers don't seem to have ordered any copies of your book for the store, but I'll be ordering some in myself as soon as they hit the distributor warehouses.

Thanks! (4.00 / 7)

Glad to know I'll be represented in at least one B&N somewhere!! :) If you want I can sign a few copies for your store when I'm in Philly, if that would make them easier to sell.

DebtorsPrison is in Philly? (4.00 / 5)

You know, if one person, just one person does it they may think he's really sick and they won't take him. And if two people, two people do it, in harmony, they may think they're both faggots and they won't take either of them. And three people do it, three, can you imagine, three people walking in singin' a bar of Alice's Restaurant and walking out. They may think it's an organization. And can you, can you imagine fifty people a day, I said fifty people a day walking in singin' a bar of Alice's Restaurant and walking out. And friends they may thinks it's a movement.

If she does, we may be up to "enclave," which is between three and fifty.

Happy birthday LVL! (4.00 / 5)

Don't feel too bad, I forgot to renew my domain name registration a month or two ago and as such couldn't figure out why I couldn't post the sourdough pancake pictures onto my web server. (Well, I could, but only by IP address, and that doesn't work.)

Don't they send notices? (4.00 / 6)

Mine sends me 90day, 60, 30, 14, 7, 24hr etc. As you can see, it does me a lot of good as I know about the 24hr notices, lol!~

If they did, I completely missed it (4.00 / 4)

This however would not be surprising on my part.

Now you've gone (4.00 / 4)

and made me hungry!

Cranberries in bogs and raspberries on top
Of the boulder-strewn mountain, and when they will crop.

17 divine layers of chocolate(fair trade) cake....(in each tier!)
separated by alternating layers of luscious almond cream custard  filling & organic strawberry-almond conserve, covered by a chocolate-caramel fondant & drizzled with fudge, topped with chocolate-dipped pretzels & chocolate-dipped strawberries

Happy Birthday! (4.00 / 3)

Just think, in twenty years we can take the blog out to a brewpub!

Congrats Jill, and everybody else!  Fantastic job we're doing here.  I like that description somebody gave you the other day, btw - don't remember who said it, but I think that should officially be part of your name.  The Indefatigable Jill Richardson. :)

Don't feel bad about missing the holiday, btw - I just did too.  I think that comes from being out of regular work.  I found out buses and trains here are running on a Sunday schedule tomorrow, and I was like - "why, it's only Friday?!".  Whoops, the holiday.  :)

I guess there's nothing in my mind to keep track of those days either now, when it isn't a "paid day off" to look forward to...
