This post will go bye-bye…

There’s no comments on this post, because like the post below, it will be safely tucked away where it belongs. Where no one needs to see it.

Just so there’s no speculation, or rumors, let me just get this out.

My wife was four months pregnant.
She checked into the hospital two days ago to check out the numbness in her fingers. The sonogram didn’t detect a heartbeat.

The constant stress and pressure of our lives proved to be too much, and the baby died. My wife is also believed to be diagnosed with the early stages of multiple sclerosis.

Many of you know, and the outpouring of love from the web community has been overwhelming.

I just wanted you all to know that we’re home from the hospital, and the procedure went well. The Mrs. is fine.

The fetus was too small to determine the sex… so we have named him/her “Angel”. There will be a memorial service here with the family as everyone is devastated.

The web right now… is irrelevant.
My family needs me.

Thank you all, and I love you all very much.

-e & family –

[This post will self-destruct by dawn.
This is a side of me that no one will ever be allowed to see anymore.]

Justice is served!

We were all watching the local news out here Friday, when we stumbled onto the image of a man sentenced to life for murder on the screen.

Melissa is about 98% sure he was one of the clowns that robbed her last summer.

On the plus side, justice is served as this guy will never see the light of day, and there’s no need for her, another friend working there, and two teenage kids needing to testify about the harrowing night they were forced on the floor at gunpoint and robbed

On the down side, they know now that one of those men were *already* wanted for murder, and would have killed them without hesitating.

Aaah… never a dull moment in my world.

Notify list…

Ok…
Well, when I transferred this site completely over to Faith’s servers I lost a lot of stuff. Why? Because I’m a moron an idiot a very forgetful person who sometimes doesn’t back things up.

I had to redo the templates from scratch, had to find some place where hopefully my archives were stored.

I had everything running perfectly, archives restored. Templates re-done. Then I had a problem with MT here, uninstalled everything… and AGAIN had to start from sctratch.

Like duh.

Well anyway, everything is back but most of the names from my notify list. I have no way of retrieving that back. So if you haven’t recieved an email update of this blog lately… well, now you know I’m a moron why. If you can please fill out the form again, I would *SO* appreciate it.

Like I said yesterday… time to move on. :0)
I have plenty of posts in my drafts here on MT to keep me going for a week.

Congratulations. You win.

No stupid weblog is worth me either losing my job, or having those I love more than life itself, taken away from me again.

Well, this will be my last ever post with Kare or Nico in it.

Kare talks of contacting my boss, knowing damn well he has nothing to do with this site, neither does my ISP host it.

She also talks of “other avenues” she can take if that doesn’t work.
I know damn well what that means. They don’t deserve this shit, but you don’t care. I ignored your garbage for the longest time, so you resort to attacking those closest to me.

She’s in a tizzy over a post from a week ago, and is demanding her link removed. This comes from the same person famous for saying “I have the right to say whatever I want. If you don’t like it, don’t come here.”

Apparently, I *DON’T* have that right. Or to even simply link to a page where she’s bashing me. At least not without a cost of something important.
Continue reading “Congratulations. You win.”

Screw you guys… I’m going home.

Ok… here’s the deal.

As of a few minutes ago I have officially been up for 42 hours.
I’ve been having a fight in the previous comments, as MT keeps calling me “a retard” (shut up.)

Lisa has ordered me to step away slowly from the computer and go to bed, and promises that I can finish fixing this site tomorrow, and it still will be here when/if I wake up.

Best wishes and a quick recovery to Faith, who was just in a bad taxi accident.

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz….

Ground Zero: Goodbye, Pat

(Originally printed December 23, 2001)
I really don’t talk about September 11th much.

I remember the grueling 12-hour day I put in checking the latest AP wires and keeping live coverage on the website, amid rumors that NY and NJ may have no way of communicating with the outside world… way before some of the events even made it on TV. Walking into work that morning, never suspecting for a second that this would lead to the devastation and unspeakable horror that we’ve all stared in a state of shock over the past few months.
I can’t think about it.
I won’t think about it.

I did a pretty damn good job at avoiding it, until this morning.

Joe Flounders lived only a few miles from me. His wife Pat begged him to flee his World Trade Center office after the first plane the other tower… He stayed behind to help a co-worker, suffering shock; trying to get him out also…

Moments later, the second plane crashed and exploded right through his office…

Using Images on your buttons

“how do you get the fade effects on your buttons?”

Even though I know kd knows this answer… *wink*…

How to make your buttons go…

It’s all CSS, my dear!
1. I made a selector called .”btn”
2. In my css:
.btn { background: #FFCC00 url(img/btn.gif); background-repeat: repeat; border-color: #FFCC00; color: #000000; font-weight: bold; font-size: 9pt; font-style: normal; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;}

3. btn.gif
is the gradient background in the buttons.

4. <input type=”submit” class=”btn”>

You can more or less use any image as a backround anywhere on your page with css….

Any questions?

No more drama in my life…

In the immortal words of the ever-so-sultry Mary J. Blige:
“So tired, tired, tired of all this drama”

Actually… no I’m not. :0)
Hee hee!

*Gets on piano and starts to play the theme to “The Young and the Restless”*

(Starts soliloquy)
You see… this is all bullshit I’m reading.
Just a pack of Attention Trolls™ whining…
Rather than just admit you were wrong
You just keep it going with self-righteous rants…

You stick up for truly disturbed people
You don’t see the gazillion private emails that *almost* got to me
When that didn’t work, then she resorted to kicking people close to me in the teeth
At the worse possible moments
All for the horrendous crime of being my friend
And you keep your eyes shut for that too… youuuuu moron!

What do you think of your friends now?
Oh, like you would even admit it to me
You’re just a jerk pretending to be noble
And I can’t help but throw my head back and laugh at you

* Little Midgets come out and give everyone the finger and wave ’em like they just don’t care *

I know your game now, you moronic little turds
Your spineless posts that you wont stand behind
You are a c-c-c-c-cowarrrrrrrd!
And I can’t help but throw my head back and laugh at you

*ow! that last one hurt.*
*I’m ok.*

So… what bothers you more?
The fact that I spend such *little* time thinking about you morons?
Even *less* effort, kicking your butts up and down the web?
The fact that I don’t link back?
Or the fact that no one is listening to you?

Or is it the guilt eating you up inside as you KNOW you fucked up, and made yourselves social pariahs?
Still rationalizing with your flawed logic
You’re the ones still talking about it…
You’re the ones who think everything I say pertains to *you* somehow…
Remember the “Digital Boomerang”? The “Fuck You Song”?

As much as I’d like to take credit for the dramas your insecurities created…
You did this *to yourselves*… all *by yourselves*. :0)
No one will listen because they know you’re full of crap…
We really have to get you guys a hobby, ‘cuz this is getting pathetic.

*(I’d throw my head back and laugh at you some more… but it’s still sore. Hope you’ll understand if I just quietly giggle at you and the delusional world you created. I’ll be here in the corner, k?)*

Back to living my life again…. with a little less dead weight around here.
But at least I know where to go when I need a good laugh.

Just know, for all the horrible things you guys said and did… I forgive you.

(I know, I know… I should have just kept ignoring them… )
