What's Worse to Be Cut Off From Than Sex, Booze and Cigarettes?

Damn, damn, damn!  I have found myself in the clutches of yet another addiction.  The sneakiest, most insidious one yet.  Sob.

Yesterday was a bloody nightmare from about 11 am right through to 11 am this morning.  There I was placidly munching my morning bran flakes like one of Carnation's contented cows  and clicking on the Blogger Dashboard icon when, suddenly appears the ominous message....."Blogger is not Available".  Gasp.  Surely this cannot be. What can this mean?   Seventy or eighty hysterical clicks later all achieving the same result and I had to face the fact that Blogger was not Available.

I refuse to confess all the things that went through my mind at that final moment of truth.  Furthermore, I refuse to admit the things that went through my mind all day and evening and night as I futilely kept attempting to make the connection.   By bedtime I had to accept the fact that my Bloggy addiction is nearly life- threatening.

With shaking fingers I tapped gingerly  at the keyboard this morning with fear and apprehension clutching at my heart...........tenks gott it didn't tell me that Blogger Was Unavailable............24 hours of deprivation  is over my limit I have found.........sigh.  Now I must go lie down and put cold cloths on my forehead.  I cannot blog today.

More later.

Love,
Herself

  8. When 'Blogger is unavailable' popped up yesterday, I went into 'badhairday' mode and did something I rarely do - I tweeted - not only did I tweet, I tweeted 'Blogger sucks' and then took the happy pills!

  9. Oh my. I know. I had a post all ready to go (which is sometimes a struggle) and there was NO BLOGGING. Almost as bad as quitting cigarettes.

  10. Lo, the outage was just an opportunity to have more time for booze and sex!

  11. Hey, maybe we should turn this one on its head. Try and cultivate an addiction to outages.

  12. Blogger ate my posts! You have my sympathy, and lets hope they don't do that again.

  13. Thanks for the kind words! Mike at Too Many Mornings sent me to you by way of a story about your encouragement for him to continue writing. I'm so glad that he did (and glad that you knocked some sense into him)!

  17. I would have suffered in the same way, but I didn't know until all my comments disappeared and my post re-posted itself. At least I was spared your anxiety.
