What a great day we had. As hot and humid as it was, down near the water it was breezy and so relatively comfy, similar to yesterday.
I packed my cameras and other stuff in a cooler to protect them from the heat. It worked great.
The dang blower motor in the car makes a howling, groaning, grinding, deathly horrible noise - all we could do is make fun of it, as we needed it on for the AC.
We went to the house first and from there we went to the 99.
After that we went to the canal to walk off the dinner. It was very nice and breezy there.
Then we went and played 2 rounds of mini-golf. We were all above par but it's all about having fun. And we did have fun!
Now we were tired, and the breeze died down so we went to Wendy's for a cold drink. It was hotter than Hell (I assume) in Wendy's. Their AC must have been out of commish. The drink cooled me down though.
I had to use my albuterol when we got back to the car. I was coughing but not too bad.
I haven't made any solid plans for tomorrow yet. I have to see a lawyer sometime soon, and I have to see somebody about a website I'm working on for an (undisclosed at this time) group I joined.
Take care, folks.

Hoo...I'm tired.
Today I went to Plymouth, MA...good ol' Water Street. I parked way down the other end where I found a free parking lot.
Had a scallop roll and onion rings at Pebbles, then walked all over the place. I ran into two coworkers there who also were on vacation. They even ate at the same place I did.
I love it there but I don't go as often as I used to.
Then I went to Ellisville State Park and walked the trail there from the parking lot to the beach. This was my second time there but my first time walking the whole trail. I'm not sure how long the trail is. I brought my cane with me and I'm glad I did. I kept switching sides as both ankles took turns giving me grief, but they really weren't all that bad. About a third of the way back I had a cough attack but it passed in a few minutes. I should have brought my albuterol. Doh!
After that I stopped in and visited my father. I got a cool video clip of a hummingbird at the feeder. It's just what I needed for a video project I've been working on.
Now I'm eating supper. I'm so tired but for the first time in a long time, it's a GOOD kind of tired! I should sleep well tonight.
Tomorrow I am treating my son and his girlfriend to dinner at the 99 as she is moving to NH with her family. Don't ask me how that's going to work...I just hope it does because I feel they're meant for each other. Anyway, I wanted to do something for her before she moves and I don't have much money but I have these 99 restaurant gift cards so that's what we'll do. TTFN

A Warning About Registering Domain Names

This is taken from my main web page, as I will be taking it down from there and "moving on". This was last udated on my site on June 2, 2007. Any further udates, if any, will be in future blogs.

A Warning About
Registering Domain Names

There's some info here. There's also plenty of info if you Google "RegisterFly".

Note: There is news here. ICANN Blog here. Scroll down a bit for Registerfly info.

Be careful and do your research before choosing a domain registrar! I should point out however, that shit happens. This was a good company with very good prices and decent service and customer support. I've used them for six or seven years. But because of whatever reasons, they've gone down the tubes...completely.

Here's the thing:
Although the site is basically dead and unresponsive, it will  allow you to pay them and it will not deliver the service you've paid for, as this has happened to me and many others.

BE VERY CAREFUL. There are no warnings on the site. It still appears to be set up for another happy day. Update: They seem to have finally complied with the court order to put a notice on the site stating they are no longer accredited.

There had been signs over the past several months. I wish I'd been paying attention. Grrrrr.

Live and learn. Pay Attention!

My domain I was most worried about, tommydanger.com, is now safely in the hands of the registrar, godaddy.com.

So far they seem very good and customer service is great!

I now only have one domain to square away and I think that will be easy, as I was already in the process of transferring it to GoDaddy, fortunately.

And one that was taken over by another registrant, who has said I can have it back for just the transfer expenses.

 

Thank You to

GoDaddy.com

You ROCK!

Why do people think they have to decide what I want? If I offer something, why do they try to decide if I can spare it (or what ever the case may be)? Notice I haven't offered anyone my hands. That's because I still need them. So I guess I won't offer something if I feel I can't bear to part with it. Same with invites...why would I invite you to visit or what ever if I didn't want you around. If you're busy or have other plans, well that happens...but if that isn't the case, then I assume you don't want to be around me. You might feel I don't want you around but sorry...if that was the case I wouldn't invite. So like I said...
Am I not capable of making these decisions? Are you saying I'm stupid?
From now on anyone that second guesses me like that will lose a serious amount of respect from me. Give me some fucking credit. Sheesh! < /rant >
