Subject: hey!!!

Written By: grumpylangdon on 05/18/02 at 12:00 a.m.

My cat's dead, my vacation's cancelled, now I can't get in. It says my e-mail's ALREADY being used by a member. Yeah. Me! But when I go to get a password reminder an "error" occurs. Look, if you didn't want me around you could have just told me...

I am sorry about your cat.  I know my cat was like a child and it killed me when she died.   As for the logging in, it is probably just something with the moving of the board.  I am sure that Chucky will fix it...keep your chin up

AND ANOTHER THING..."guest" status means I can't get in and change the fact that I put two l's in the word canceled! From bad to worse, I tell ya.

But thanks, Dagny. I'm still blindly hoping against hope that a cat could run away for four days, having never been outside, and still turn up and somehow get back to a second-story apartment. Stupid cat. Breakin' my heart like that.

Hey, it could happen.  My sister had a cat disappear for more than a week.  He was black and white...when he came back he was all black, but after a bath and box of bandaids (for my brother in law ;)) he was fine.   :)

I haven't figured out how to get the email on the server to work properly for the messageboard yet.. I would have done it today, but I spent the whole day trying to make amiright.com work again (good news! it works almost 100% now!)

unfortunately, my worcestermass.com domain is moving, which means if you don't send me an email soon enough, it might get lost during the transition

Hey, it's not that bad, being a guest, is it? I must admit that I do have some really bad typos, but what can one do?

Too bad about the cat. Mine died two years ago at the tender age of 11 from cancer (had to put him to sleep). I miss that guy :'(  (Cubbo-Fluffo, R.I.P.).

Sorry about your cat, Langdon. :(  

On the bright side, cancelled does have two 'L's in it....
