In case of breed 'em and weep emergency...

Welcome to my nuclear fallout shelter! Relax. I've got enough water and freeze-dried chili and astronaut ice cream for everybody.

If you're reading this, you know that I breed and weep over at the real breed 'em and weep, but in case of technical blog meltdown (like the one that decimated b'eaw for four weeks in December '05), I can set up shop over here temporarily.

Right now, we are in the fallout shelter because MY SPAMBOT IS SPEWING EVIL CODE, AND MY ANCIENT VERSION OF WORDPRESS IS NOT HELPING MATTERS. Bad stuff, my peeps.

The spambot is like Hal from 2001: Space Odyssey, not that you young'uns remember that flick. As many of you have noticed, my spambot is POSSESSED BY DEMONS and is gobbling your comments like Aunt Sue when she gets too close to the all-you-can-eat pierogi buffet at the Polish Eagle Hall.

And yes, I've thought of exorcising the sucker. But when I try to deactivate the spambot, IT WON'T LET ME. It says, NO, I'M STAYING AND YOU ARE SCREWED.

I am not a technical gal. This is the kind of thing my husband used to handle. But I don't have a husband anymore, which is a bummer in many ways, to say the least. One really crummy deal is now I'm supposed to figure this stuff out, all feministically and brilliantly and empoweringly. That hasn't happened yet, because I still have food dyslexia and can barely prepare meals for my gristly birdlike children.

I know from your emails that I am missing out on all sorts of great comments and wisdom. And I miss you! So if you don't want me getting all Sylvia Plath on your sweet tushees, then come on over here for a while as I sort things out, and be free and frisky with the comment love. Will you? Will you? You can put your feet up on any undisclosed object in this undisclosed location. I don't care.

As I wrote in 2005:

Think of this spot as breed 'em and weep lite on the rocks with a tangy twist of crisis. Hopefully we won't have to meet up over here, but if we ever do, stay calm and do not steal each other's shoes.
