Wow! Whew! Jeeez!  That was a close one.  I tried to get into the forum last night and when I saw Frolix had posted on the Long Ride I clicked on to see how Merritt was and boom.  An error page came up.  All evening I kept returning to the computer and OOF same thing.  This morning, when the same problem still existed I came to realize I was addicted, hooked, with monkey on back, the whole nine yards.  Oh the agony!  I knew I had to have a fix.  I went to the street corner in Stapleton, the only street corner we have, and waited for a drug dealer to happen along (isn't that where people score a fix?  On the street corner?) but nobody showed except the local Postmaster who asked me why I was pacing back and forth and looking like I was sweating cold beads of sweat.  I asked her if she could get me an ounce or two of gulf community forum, just to tide me over.  She looked at me with pity in her sad eyes and said “You are in need of some snow, right?”  I told her no, I really was concerned more about Sudz and Jazz.  She looked at me kind of funny then and made a swift retreat back into the post office.  I made it back to my house around noon thirty (after passing out on the road a couple of times) and found the forum problem was solved.  You'll never know what a relief it was.  I swear I'll never let this happen to me again.  I'm saving up a stash of forum in a mason jar and hiding it under my bed.

But wait, if I call myself within the next 5 minutes I could also save some in the refrigerator.

yeah, sorry about that folks.   Florky and I were talking about it and it was really wierd.  I had made plenty of changes to the GC site, but all on my local computer (a new, spanky - super-fast one that 's pimped out with a see-through window, neon lights, adorned in geeky stickers and two 21“ monitors).     When we saw frolix's email, we were both scratching our heads going, “duh, i didn't change anything to the live site, did you?”    After an hour or so of  “what the hell happened?” we found the problem.  (a problem I have a way of preventing in the future and will upload in a day or so)  

Thanks again for emailing me that the site was freaking.    I sure didn't know.  My last day on the job was Friday - and I was a little hung over this morning to notice the forum problems, (he he)
