Technical Difficulties

Admin, Blog POST A COMMENT by

We are experiencing technical difficulties – the email notifications from the site are not sending, which is making it hard to moderate. So today will be a testing day. The website may look strange as we disable and reenable things.

Please feel free to leave fun comments on this post. It will help us determine when the emails start working again.

Update: Two hours later we have a work around. Fingers crossed it holds.

  4. Quick Joke: How many Narcissists does it take to change a light bulb?
    Answer: None, they prefer gaslighting.
    Hope everything works out.

  5. Get Kate to take a few deep breaths. Then you should be up and running within a few minutes. Assuming the tech holds, of course.

  7. My fresh hell is: tornado.

    There is a 5% chance of a tornado just south of Sacramento California, this afternoon.

    I am beginning to despise the term “atmospheric river”.

    Yes, yes, I am a native Californian and our mantra is “well, we need the water”.

    Having experienced a hurricane, once, about 12 years ago on the east coast, I simply have no desire to experience strong winds again.

    Stay tuned. I hope your computer problems are solved.

    • Fellow Californian. Flood watch and high winds for my area. Though this atmospheric river isn’t quite as juicy as last year’s.

    • Native Californian here too. Apparently there are now *levels* assigned to atmospheric rivers. The first one was a puny Level One. We didn’t have this info so we prepped our farm (straddling a foothill of a tiny mountain range) for last year’s monsoon. On the good side, it’s holding up so far and the Forest Service hasn’t needed their Snorkel-ified Jeep to rescue any lost hikers yet

  8. fingers crossed. cross your for me that my kid let’s me sleep some…. I’ve been up since 3am with him

  9. Fuzzy Wuzzie was a bear. Fuzzy Wuzzie had no hair. Fuzzy Wuzzie wasn’t fuzzy, was he?

    And, who knows why I even thought of that one? 😄

    • Johanna, I say that a lot….we have two Welsh cob (large) ponies that I trace clip 3 or 4 times a winter so they don’t overheat while they are working. The contrast between the clipped & unclipped areas is soooo drastic because they are actually Chia-pets on hooves😭. They are ever so FuzzyWuzzy💕

  11. I don’t know if this counts as a fun comment, but I am absolutely loving the Roman story. I totally picture him at home, taking care of his stray bugwuggies (family word that means little monsters lol), muttering like a grumpy dad who absolutely Did Not Want a pet but completely fell in love but doesn’t want to lose his grumpy dad street cred, lol. Also, woe betide the idiot who messes with HIS babies ❤️

  13. While you are fixing e mail I am trying to update the password on one of my worksites. They make me do it every six months. So far I have tried four different sets and get locked out for another 30 minutes. They want 15-32 characters, numbers, upper and lower case and special characters. At this point I think it is them not me.

  14. Party Like a Russian by Robbie Williams has been my constant earworm for like practically 3 weeks!

    As I’m reading the Roman serial…
    (snork)

  15. Rereading Gunmetal Magic, and kept hearing Team Roman in my head, especially when he took his robe off to put on the pixelated camouflage…

  16. The blog seems okay to me, however, I’m currently on a cruise ship anchoring in Whitsunday, Australia, so don’t take my word for anything.

  17. I can’t get over this snippet I read about how cookie monster’s eye placement suggests he is a submerged ambush predator… I just thought I’d share this random test comment

  24. I heard a phrase and thought you guys needed it in your repertoire. ‘They’re headed to hell in a basket with gasoline underpants!’

    • 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

      Well that’s one way to get toasted buns. 😉🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🔥🔥🔥

  27. Hello! Hope computer issues are resolving. I finished rereading the main Kate Daniels series today and am now baking bread and banana muffins because it is chilly and rainy in Southern CA. Sending a virtual banana muffin with or without chocolate chips.

  28. I am highly amused by Star Trek Lower Decks. The irreverent humour reminds me of the laughs I enjoy whilst reading any of your books.

  32. Can I have Armand’s blood mace? I want to destroy my dissertation because I’m tired of reformatting to fit electronic thesis guidelines and redoing citations because our citation management software got it wrong

    • Have you tried Microsoft Word for your citations? I had over 100 of them for my dissertation. I had to use the APA format. I put in the information, clicked ok, and there it was in the correct format.

  34. Just listened to the audio book of Magic Mourns. No way did I imagine Teddy Joe sounded like a mountain hillbilly. Look like a good ole boy, sure. Sound like one? Not in my head. Don’t know why.

    Now I’m going to have to find some of his other appearances and reimagine them.

  37. Oh it’s working!

    I wish my suppliers were as efficient in solving problems… back to work!
    💪

  40. Are we still testing?

    I got a second hand copy of Sub press Innkeeper today and I’m over the moon ☺️ it is so pretty!

    • The issue wasn’t related to readers getting the newsletter email 😊.
      It was about the moderator getting the comment notifications.

  44. Simple things, it is said, amuse simple minds. I have found that strange things amuse strange minds; between these two factors, I am very easily amused.
    Even while grocery shopping. Tossing a bag of parboiled rice into the cart, I found myself wondering why I could never find rice boiled to above par. Another occasion with a can of Campbell’s Condensed Salt, Manhattan Clam Chowder version, had me question the lack of a Martini Clam Chowder. One last one was at an Aldis, packing my purchases at the counter past the registers — when someone behind me questioned the price on their package of chicken. That week, boneless chicken breasts were on sale, but she had chicken tenders, and ‘tenders’ was said several times, and that day it left me breaking up in laughter. Which left six or more women looking at me, and seeming to wonder if I was going to display any further aberrant behavior. My attempts to say “Don’t mind me, I merely rewrote some lyrics and laughed at the result” didn’t stop the staring, and so I sang them.
    “Love my tenders, love them true
    Never let them go …”
    I don’t know what the result of that was, since I turned around, finished packing my groceries, and left. (And it was 15 minutes, and 10 miles down the road, when I started chuckling to myself again, because it finally occurred to me that this was only two weeks after the nearby town of Lake George, NY, had finished it’s latest Elvis Fest.)

  47. To quote Harry Vanderspeigle from Resident Alien.
    This is some bullshit.

    Hope your work around works!!!

  48. It seems, I didn’t get the first email about this test, but the one with the update.

    As for other topics. I rewatched the series 1886 over the weekend, this time the first time with my folks. Last night we watched the last two episodes. We all were crying our eyes out… I as well again, starting already during the second before last episode, even though I knew what was coming…

    • Thanks for letting us know, but the issue was comment notification emails to the moderator, not newsletter emails ☺️

      • Oh I see and yes comment didn’t say I had posted first time and you were super on top of comment this morning here😜
