The problem with the Internet
a rant about website being down and what options you may have, things to think about you never know they could happen to you.
Sorry about this rant… but it happened to me this weekend and I feel I must.
Saturday morning, the first call came in.
“WHAT HAPPENED TO MY WEBSITE?” the client asked.
I went to their site and instead of the usual webpage; there was a black page with a big headline DEFACED and a photo of some warrior guy with a sword, there was even an email left there.
Have Yourself A Frugal Little Christmas
Your June wedding and honeymoon are behind you. You and your new spouse have set budgets for how much you will spend for the Christmas season on each other and on friends and relatives. You even wisely started setting aside time and money to get those gifts before the crowds started invading the shopping malls and discount stores.
Suddenly, you realize that although you listed Christmas decorations on your original wedding registry, you only received two “Our first Christmas” ornaments. They are beautiful, but two ornaments won’t go very far in decorating.
The Christmas Tree
Traditionally, the Christmas tree was not put up until 24th December, Christmas Eve, and it was taken down on 6th January, 12th Night. The Germans used to put their tree up on Christmas Eve and take it down on 1st January, once the New Year celebrations were over. However, modern commercialism dictates that a lot of trees now go up as early as the first or second week in December. This has been made possible by the fact that a lot of people use artificial trees - to bring a real fir or pine tree indoors that early would result in falling needles and half bare branches by Christmas Day.
