*pant* *gasp* *wheeze*
Wow! I had no idea how much work it could be to make some simple changes in the URLs to one’s websites. I’ve been all over the web today, at Google, DMOZ, and a passel of lesser sites, trying to repair broken links.
Thank God (again) for Google. They at least show me who is linked to the bad URLs, so I can go to each one and ask that they change my link to the new URL.
I keep imagining people in pain, finding my PainSwitch listing and clicking on it, only to get the further pain of error messages. It pains me to think of it.
If I could seize root, I’d get right in there and make those wee little changes myself. Woe is me, I lack the crackin’ skill, so I must go the circuitous route, requesting that various webmasters make the changes, and then waiting to see if they actually do it. It’s killin’ me. I hate to wait. Someone commented recently that I seem like a patient person. PAH! Yeah, right, me patient… it is to laugh.
I have learned to wait. I’m still working on the patiently part.
I obviously need more work on the practicing what I preach stuff, too. I always tell my clients and friends to take care of themselves first, because if they don’t they won’t be able to take care of anyone else.
I ran out of my prepared packs of supplements. Today (well, actually yesterday, but who’s counting?) I was supposed to make up a new month’s supply of vitamins and such. Instead, I’ve been trying to clear the way for the suffering masses to reach relief. I actually hadn’t even thought about my meds today.
Greyfox reminded me (bless him) as he was on his way out to gather the petitions he had circulated, and head on over to the community meeting where his business rivals are trying to get street peddlers banned from Talkeetna. In the midst of his well-controlled panic over being run out of business, he thought of me.
That was about the same time that Doug woke up and asked me if I had intended to leave the door of the woodstove open. It’s good that someone around here is paying attention.

I would have no idea how to go about fixing such a problem. I admire your dedication!
The amount of work one can put into a site, even on simple changes often makes me wonder how it could be that important. Time and dedication seem like such a grueling affair to me at times; when there is such a vast and explosive build up seemingly ever on hold for the appropriate level of skill to be attained so that this substance of dream may be liberated properly. I feel like such a child when I’m struggling to gain some basic skill, let alone mastery – especially with computers, language, reason or logic. Hence, I always feel rather young; and I don’t think I’ll ever quite be on top of it all. Woe is me.
Also, thank you for your comments! I was unaware that I had a style. That’s a rather comforting thought I think. I suspect that at the moment, it is something like ‘Pork Sandwich’ if not ‘Soup Sandwich’.
hey, speaking of broken links- i just tried clicking onto your hyperlink of painswitch and it won’t work for me
?
Wow, you’re dedicated!!! Don’t forget to look out for number one
That website is SOOOOOO cool!!! I love it! It is definitely one of the best I have come across. I think it’s cool. I don’t know too much about Shamanism, but after reading the site, I am a lot more interested. I have been studying general paganism. Anyway, I am so glad you posted that site!!!
Just wanted to let you know… your new profile pic is absolutely fantastic. You’re so full of life there.

I too have run out of my supplement packages, and now spend about 15 minutes each night doling out doses, then hopefully getting it all down with two swallows. Sure is a bitch when something gets stuck in the nether regions of my mouth and begins dissolving. YECH! Hang in there my friend, tis a very confusing life we lead. {{{{{Kathy}}}}}
I sincerely hope they don’t take Greyfox’s livlihood away. And I hope you get your site straightened out.
The idea about the stones sounds good to me, and I’m in no hurry. Thanks for thinking of me!
