Comment on I won’t be home for Christmas by Vicki

Weird to spend Christmas alone – we just moved to Tennessee and left our (adult) kids behind in California (they had the option to join us, but chose to stay there – they have lives! lol) So we are kinda in the same boat as you are. It’s our first Christmas without our kids. Merry Christmas, Becky! Doesn’t really matter when you celebrate it

Well said Becky. ESPN’s poor coverage is driving fans away.
START LISTENING ESPN.
You forgot to mention Jerry Punch, who, whilst he was the best pit lane reporter ever, now has the distinction of qualifying for the worst Nascar play-by-play announcer ever. Put him on pit road or in the infield studio, put Bestwick in the booth. He knows how to do PxP and how to run a booth.

Awesome post. I am a loyal TDP reader/poster and Nascar fan and LOVE every word of your article. If that doesn’t serve as a thesis for what is wrong with ESPN’s nascar coverage, I don’t know what will.

Thank you,
A Brown

Thanks Bobbi. That’s what I was hoping to accomplish. I didn’t want to make them too fancy, but I didn’t want them too simple either. I can’t wait ’til they get here.

I’m encountering an issue where my site doesn’t load in Internet Explorer. It is because of the YouData widget over in the far sidebar. I have no idea why it’s causing a problem. It didn’t in the old version of my theme, and I didn’t change the code. I’m looking into it.

Utah is pretty cool. The mountains are gorgeous – hiking, mountain biking are great in the warm weather and the winter brings some of the best skiing in the country (so I’ve heard – I still have yet to go skiing) LOL! The weather is nice too – but I’ve definitely found I prefer drier climates. There is a lot of religion here though. I’m NOT religious and that’s probably my biggest issue with living here. But I’ve found other people like me and we deal with it.

There are a few big companies here that do PHP stuff. Omniture is one of them (I looked at working there at one time, but while they do hire contractors, they want them on site and I have to work from home) I’m pretty sure there are others. I know there are local PHP developer groups – and “geek” social groups etc. Anyway – that’s all the info I couldn’t squeeze into my tweets to you

Comment on Rough patch by Robin

You bet I will bop up the side of the head. I completely understand rough patches I have been in one for the past two years and things are starting to look up and it will for you too. I know its hard but try to keep up a positive attitude and you will conquer whatever you are dealing with.

You know any time that you want or need to vent you can!! Or drink if you need to I always can do that.

Love ya
Me

Well, I understand about rough patches. I finalized a divorce back in September,
and it seems like my life has been going downhill ever since. First, my ex cheated
on me with a guy with the same name as my arch enemy on leoville, well he thinks I’m his arch enemy but I forgave Greg a long time ago for our differences, which was hard enough to deal with,
then I’ve been feeling lonely, depressed, dwelling on things that happened to me back in my
past too, like being rapped in the dorms at the blind school from 11-17 years of age. To this
day, I have emotional issues getting close to anyone for that reason alone.

Then, while I was moving to a new city, I was 2 days late paying on my web hosting bill,
it was beyond my control, because moving to a different city meant changing banks,
changing paypal accounts, etc, and the hosting provider was not the least bit understanding
of that, so they deleted my web hosting accounts, and backups too, meaning 15 years of
my lifes work down the drain! oh I was so mad about that! My blog, my forum, everything
deleted in 2 second.. so I went into an even deeper depression.

Then I met a girl, and things were going along good for awhile. We were just friends for awhile,
then we started the making out and kissing routine, then wanted to go further, but I didn’t
find out until afterwards, that all she wanted was to be friends. She only wanted the “friends with
benefits” package, which I am not into at all. In fact, I don’t want to have sex with anyone until
after I’m married, and she wasn’t understanding of that at all.

It was then I gave up on women, I am so sick and tired of getting hurt all the time.
so I understand all too well about rough patches. Sometimes I feel like I’m just destined
to be alone the rest of my life.

take care.
