Please send an email if you want a list of my favorite curse words. I’ve got some doozies.

So here’s what’s going on tonight at Howdygram headquarters: NOT VERY MUCH, aside from folding a mountain of socks and underwear so Sam can pack for his trip (he’s leaving really early Saturday morning) and trying to get our email accounts back in working order after a tech support Einstein at Web.com changed our incoming and outgoing mailserver settings today WITHOUT TELLING ME.

Regarding that second issue for a minute. I’ve been using Web.com’s services for a very long time. Their prices aren’t bad, my domain names are registered with them and they’ve been hosting all of my clients’ websites for years. Unfortunately, Web.com sucks because they screw up absolutely EVERYTHING. This afternoon I decided it’s time to cancel website hosting for www.samandmarcy.com (I don’t need it any more) and just keep our three samandmarcy.com email accounts. I asked if any of our email settings are going to change and Einstein said NO, nothing would change. Except he LIED. Three hours hours later I’m getting server error messages and can’t send or receive email, so I call Web.com’s 800 number and a completely different Einstein tells me that “somebody” — i.e., the pathological liar who took my call in the afternoon — changed our MAILSERVER DESIGNATIONS, which means I have to edit the settings for all three of our email accounts, an activity I absolutely DESPISE because email settings give me a brain hemorrhage and the only way I ever get anything to work is by screaming profanity at the top of my lungs. (I’m not proud of myself, but it is what it is.) Please send an email if you want a list of my favorite curse words. I’ve got some doozies.

I should get back to my socks and underwear now. Seriously.
