Ode To Yahoo Hosting
My dear, sweet hosting service,
When we were first introduced, I wasn't sure what to do. I was a little shy and submissive because it was my first blind date with a host - I always stuck with safe (though a tad unreliable) Mr. Blogger. But I was a new woman with a new domain and I was going to grow as a blogger and get a REAL host. I heard you were nice and thought you were handsome enough, so I gave it a shot.
The first week was a little rough, sure, but I shyly assumed it was my ignorance because, honestly dear, you were my first. I was too scared to admit I didn't know what I was doing with you. You, afterall, had done it before. So I just layed there and let you do your thing.
The more I learned about what this kind of relationship is supposed to be, the more I realized you were kinda a jerk. I learned by reading detailed websites and from talking to professionals, and you know what? You're not only a jerk - you're a PAIN IN MY ASS.
I tried to use protection yesterday - protection from those nasty little comment bugs, and what did you do? You laughed at me and shut down the system entirely! Now I'm without protection again and will probably get some sort of disease before it's all over with. You selfish pig. I knew I shouldn't have hooked up with you - you're no good for me.
And that's why I'm leaving you. I would say "it's not you, it's me", but...seriously...it's ALL you. I'm finding someone else to open my site to. Someone who loves me and who will PROTECT me without making me feel guilty about it. Goodbye, Yahoo. This was the worst month of my blogging life. I'm sure you understand.
Love, Chase
p.s. Please don't call me. It'll only make things harder for us both.

I am scrolling through my rss feeds and I see...sarah and the goonsquad has her isp down. Alysyn at salad days is in html hell. Three more people are having banner issues, and then...this.
For all those naysayers about the whole retrograde mercury thing, begone you skeptics. We're all living proof.

Sorry! I know how you are about spelling.
I meant to say "Y o u a r e a b r a v e g i r l! " :( I just felt like I was on wheel of fortune scared I might mess up reading the puzzle! :\

More than that, you are a HOOT! Please continue to post about your journey to "grown up blogger" because while I do have my own domain, I'm still hangin' with my ol' pal Blogger. He may not be dashing, but he's there.

Mom - Oh, I'm totally a believer! Mercury Retrograde kicks my butt everytime. Gah.
Muse - that's right, you better spell correctly on my site. I'll have to ban you. But, since you caught yourself and were so apologetic, I'll forgive you. Just send me the misspelling fee ($20) and it's all good. ;)
Poodle - girl, at this rate, I would have been better off with good ol' Blogger. It was down/frozen several times the 2 months I was there, but at least I didn't have to manually refigure my database every week. Grrrrrr. Oh well. Moving on, yeah? (And, I will for sure keep blogging...and will keep this site...I just need to move it over a notch) ;)

There are some hosts out there who are way better, but less known than Yahoo. Maybe you should take a look at this forum:
http://www.webhostingtalk.com. Good luck with finding a new host.

You.......submissive?.......NOT!
So where you gonna go? I don't have any rec's, but nevermore might feel right to home if you went to Laughing Squid :)

Pappy - nevermore is going to hunt you down. She's mean! And, don't know yet where I'm going - I'll just browse around and ask for suggestions. I'll still be at tastetheworld.org, though, so you don't have to tattoo anything else on your body. Don't worry, old man.

LOL!
Hey Pappy. Good to see you're still up and around... even if it's with a walker.

I knew it! I just knew ol' pappy was still making his "uh" house calls! ;)
Posted by Muse at March 12, 2006 09:19 PM
Yep, Pappy is still stalking me. Even with the police protection, I can't get him away from me. He just likes him some hot lebanese women, I guess. ;)

Actually, I'd rather have me some hot, lebanese baclawa - but I'll take what I can get... ;)
(maybe you should learn how to cook, hmmm?)
Posted by Pappy at March 13, 2006 09:12 AM
Hmmm... I think I really need to jump ship now. Let's make the leap together!

Pappy - I already cook. Just not in that way. Grar.

Hey, Chase...let me know if you find a hosting company you like. I'm looking at getting my own domain in the near future. K
