Goodbye Mr. Internets
Well, it finally happened. Our computer gave up the ghost. It's been in poor health for some time now, and I can't say it wasn't expected. It was unexpected however, that we were written out of the will entirely, and everything was left to the dang MOUSE. Son of a gun. Oh well.
So, this leads me to a very sad announcement. The Sift will be temporarily shut down, while I go dig around in some dumpsters for computer parts. I know, I know. I'm in mourning, too. It's horrible. I don't know what I'll do without my blog. By the time I finally get back online, the party will have ended and you'll all be gone. Wah. I'll be drinkin' alone. And that's just sad.
Looks like the soonest we can get another computer attempt to fix the laptop will be sometime in late October. So till then, it will be sporadic email checking at the library, and maybe the occasional blog post if I'm lucky.
-sniff- Be brave, WonderGirl. Be brave.
I'll miss you guys. Check back occasionally over the next few weeks to see if I'm back online, and if I'm not, then send out a search party. I'm probably laying in a ditch somewhere with no sweater and no internet access. I'll have fallen, and can't get up. I needs hep'.
Take care, enjoy the fall, and call me. I enjoy human contact.

WG,
Oh no! This is unexpected! What about the slings; is there no hope?
I'm very disappointed. I hope you return quickly. I have really come to enjoy my daily fix of the Sift. You're a hoot. And you're smart. And one doesn't see too much of that.
I wish I could send you a new puter.
Your cyberfriend,
Teri

So, in lieu of flowers, we should make a donation to the WonderGirl Web Access Fund?
I'm going to miss you. ::sniff, sniff::

Wow. Does life go on without the internet/blogs? It doesn't seem to in our house. :)

Betcha thought I was one of those love-you-and-leave-you fans, huh?! My life has gotten out of hand the last several months (including but not limited to being involved in a serious car accident), but I still check in whenever I can to see what's happening in the WonderGirl world. I'm so sorry about your computer! I hope you'll be back up and writing again soon - you're inspiring, witty and wise, and Teri's right - there aren't many in the blogosphere who meet those qualifications. If you can, e-mail us fans when you get back - we'll be here waiting for you!

We miss you terribly... I visit the Sift every day, even tho you're not here... omigosh... makes me sound a little like a stalker... nope, nope, nope... not that... just watching for a light in the window so I can drop by and sit a spell...
loving y'all and praying for you always...
