I am a stupid bint.
And it is MPS’s fault. Cause nothing is ever my fault. ‘Bout time he learned that.
So after a large ARRRGGGHHHH and a slap around the head for MPS, I am here to whine tell you what happened.
Yesterday it was hot. You know the drill, bad tempered Kelley, sweaty breasticles, hogging standing in front of the airconditioner with my skirt over the vent, kinda day.
And precious little sleep this YEAR. (sounds so much more dramatic than the last few nights doesn’t it) cause of the tiny terrorist and his stealth Ninja moves.
Moo and I were slapping each other in frustration working on a little project and I was over playing at Aussie Bloggers. There was a thread about web safe colour tools or somesuch, click here to see it, and Moo and MPS were SQUEEing all over the shop at the thought. Especially the Firefox extension Colorzilla.
So being the wonderful person and kind mother that I am, (lets not mention the fact that I wanted it for what I was doing OK? Lets concentrate on my wonderfulness and selflessness as a wife and mother cause then I can blame my family for this sad little tale) I downloaded it for them.
But I needed to restart Firefox to install it.
Now my Firefox apparently has a little bug in it. That MPS keeps saying he will fix. When I quit and then restore session it opens every-freaking-window that I opened in the last whatever. There is no rhyme or reason to it. It can open things that were closed days ago. Or not. Who knows. Like a Firefox lucky dip. But it also opens every window 2-4 times. Lucky Dip again.
Now before anyone starts berating me. Yes, I know I shouldn’t have 4 windows open with 8 tabs each. I know I should be more organised and not leave so much shit open. So shut up. It is not my fault. See the second sentence of this post.
So I restart Firefox and go on my merry way. Delete the duplicate tabs.
Delete the draft version of Bugs, Injuries and Doctors Appointments.
No idea why that fucker was open. It was the draft without the pretty pictures.
Before I hit delete I thought, hang on, might just delete the content cause I am totally computer stupid and don’t know if I delete the draft if it would affect the completed version….
Hmmmm.
I continue my evening. Finally fall into bed around 2am.
This morning I log on. Moderate the newbie comments (thanks for commenting! I big pink puffy heart you all!!) and then think, hmmmm I wonder how many comments that last post has? I hardly ever look at the actual blog, except to swoon over that pretty pink button and the Blogger Choice award buttons
, so I have a wander around.
What the FUCK?
Where is the post about the nits, swing collapsing on Boo (and by the way, poor little mite has a huge bruise across his shoulder blades. Dodged a bullet there my lovelies. If it had fallen on his neck, or his face, I honestly don’t think he would still be here….) etc etc etc.?
IT. IS. GONE.
I deleted it.
Stupid bint.
I mean MPS is a bastard. And my neighbours asshats. And that guy walking along the street out the front. And my 3rd grade teacher. And Osama Bin Laden.
And it is EVERYONE else’s fault. And I hate them all.
Oh, but not you my lovelies. I <3 all of you of course……
And of course I don’t have a copy of it. And of course I have no idea what I wrote cause it was just a brain dump. And of course I am mightily peeved cause, well, it makes my blog look messy.
And I hate messy.
So the lesson? Whip MPS’s arse till he fixes the fucking thing. Never EVER delete anything to do with my blog. And take some time to learn what I am freaking doing.
Anyone know of a Wordpress for Dummies?

Don’t tell me I’ve MISSED a post!!! And now it’s GONE!!!! Wonder if anyone has it in a feedreader?????
Yeah, there is a book called “Wordpress for Dummies”. Apparently.
Ignore that last suggestion because I just realised that *I* read in a feedreader and I didn’t see the post you’re referring to……???????
I was just considering looking into firefox but you’re putting me off…..
Ouch, and I went looking for a cached Google copy, but of course there isn’t one
mmm At least you didn’t delete the comments..hehehe Bloody men!!!!
Bugger!
I Googled it and checked Bloglines but it aint there
Well, that explains that!
I always keep drafts of posts in Word and paste them into my blog. Don’t trust the buggers!
Sorry to hear that, and it was a great post!
Well that blows. And on top of everything else, I had to reject you for inclusion in Humor-Blogs.com. I’m sorry! You selected the option to list your blog on h-b, and to do that you have to have a link to h-b on your site. You can add a link and resubmit if you want.
Did I mention I’m sorry?
That’s really too bad, Kelley, about losing all of that stuff. There is a procedure for backing up a blog – but it’s really tedious and complicated and not for the faint of heart. That said, there is a service coming (paid, I guess – unfortunate) that will back up one’s blog on a daily basis. The URL is http://blogbackuponline.com . It’s free, right now, while they are in beta and I have no idea what the charges might be going forward, but there it is.
having deleted a long, emotional birth story and not realizing it for weeks, i feel you pain. sucks to lose your writing. sounds like quite a post too. i hope things are looking up!
Kelley, nobody is as computer illiterate as moi. I can put together a human being after it has become pizza all over the highway, but be damned if I can manage to do anything on a computer. They’re scary, they’re nasty, and at night they plot to get you. Their nasty little nanobytes (or whatever crap makes their little cyberhearts sing) get together and plot to take over the world. Screeching in teeny cyber voices “VIVA LA CYBER REVOLUTION”
Um… cough… pardon me. Back to reality. Now where the hell is that Wordpress for Dummies because this dummy needs it.
That really sucks! I don’t seem to have it cached here at work, but I might do at home. I will check when I finally get home.
I really hope I have it, cause I loved that post.
I’m sorry babe
And for once I can’t help you xox
Thanks everyone. And I am so thankful that a lot of you went looking for it for me (something I wouldn’t have thought to do!)
Yeah it bites. But it coulda been worse. Shhhh! Lets not speak of it again lest Murphy is lurking in the shadows….
