Okay point taken in the comments of the entry below this one. My commenting software leaves something to be desired.

Here’s the thing: the people who created it don’t exist anymore, so there’s no support (or wasn’t, last time I checked) and I’m not a pro PHP programmer. But the key is that I’m not dependent on somebody else’s server to control my comments – they live on my server, so if I’m up, they’re up, etc. etc.

I need to find new commenting software. I promise, I’ll look into it. I just need to find something blogger.com-friendly. And Jody-friendly.

This is a bigger issue for me right now because I’m moving hosts, possibly this weekend, and I haven’t been able to get the comments to work yet on the new server. It’s a whole paths thing, that I’m sure I can work out, I just haven’t had the time.

Anyway, that’s your head’s up that for a brief time, we will be in flux between the two servers. I have no idea how it will affect my mail, so your best bet for reaching me once I tell you I’m flipping the switch, is to leave a comment. I’d post the DNS address for the new server here, but I don’t want you guys using that yet, as that site isn’t up-to-date, etc. So keep yer pants on!

And if you use Blogger and have good commenting software, don’t be a stranger!

Ha! I’ll bet you were expecting a sonnet or something! Well the joke’s on you! I couldn’t write a decent sonnet right now if you paid me. Well, okay, maybe if you paid me I could put a little effort into it and come up with something.

So ignore that whole first paragraph. And the title of this entry. I’ll try to write a haiku for you by the end of the day.

Okay, not really. Am I getting old? I don’t like to stay up late anymore. If I’m not cozied up in bed by ten, I feel like I’m going to be a miserable wreck in the morning. I thought the older you got, the less sleep you need.

I think I’m reverting to needing my original 20 hours of sleep a day, you know, like I did as a newborn.

Hey, it’s time for me to make you all just a little bit more informed about ME. Because when the rubber hits the road, it’s all about ME.

• At work, I use the fourth stall in, unless someone else is using it. If someone else is using it, I feel someone is trespassing. But I try to not cause a ruckus.
• I usually sleep facing left
• Peanut butter gives me a sinus headache but I eat it anyway, because I’ve weighed the cost/benefit and have decided I love peanut butter far more than I love not having a headache, but only until I am experiencing one of the headaches and then I hate myself for the rest of the day. The headaches are usually a day or two after I eat it, so I do not learn from my mistakes. It’s like hitting the dog’s nose 2 days after he pees on the rug.
• The color shirt I am most likely to buy: Red. Blue is second.
• If I could only choose one cartoon to ever be able to watch again, I’d probably pick The Simpsons, but we can’t watch that in the house because Junior’s a bit young, so I’d go with runner-up The Fairly Oddparents.
• The song that is fingernails on the blackboard to me: “Islands in the Stream”.

Hey, Mom! I got a good checkup!

Why yes, I am a Crest kid, why do you ask?
