This move has been an incredibly difficult experience for me. There are problems with the new host. There are problems with the ads. There are problems with comment moderation. It’s all a huge pain in the ass.
I am aware of and working on these problems. You all could really help by not commenting that your previous comment did not go through, or asking why you are being moderated or telling me that your comment disappeared. I do not need an email to be informed you have something in moderation. I already get them. I spend several hours a day, that I would normally be posting dealing with these issues. Your precious comments will be published JUST AS SOON AS I CAN STOP CHATTING WITH THE AD PEOPLE, OR THE WORDPRESS PEOPLE in an endless circular manner that has not managed to produce any results since they began over TWO WEEKS AGO.
While I’m sure it will be incredibly difficult on everyone to wait fifteen minutes or two hours for your brilliant comment to appear, it is the best I can do at this time. We will all just have to learn to be patient as we wait for your unparalleled words of wisdom to appear.
Speaking of patience, I have zero left in my tank. I am also out of fucks to give. So unless you want to have your tongues out licking windows, I strongly suggest you bear that in mind.
I’m very sorry that your hard work at this change over is so frustrating and unending. You were getting so many things back on track. I hope all is soon resolved.
When I realized that my comments were still not posting, meaning you are having to deal with them along with so much more, I decided to post as the AKA. It will be one less thing for you to handle. May I suggest for those like myself, just throw the AKA in front of your handle so that TT won’t have to worry with them. Just a suggestion. After all, every little bit helps. 🙂
So sorry you’re having to go through such a hard time that is never ending. Appreciate your honesty. Try to take good care, Tamara?
Although it is frustrating for us if a comment doesn’t go through, disappears or goes to moderation, just imagine how much frustration it has to be for Tamara. She’s getting it from all of us and from the changes from the move. If I was in her position, I’d probably be ready to throw my hands up and just say screw it all. I for one don’t want that to happen so I’m not going to complain if one of my comments goes missing. I’m going to wait patiently and give her as much encouragement as possible. After all, she provides us all a place to come for the tea and stay for the shade. We kind of owe her some loyalty and patience. Hope everyone gives her a break and a little understanding. I am. Just saying.
Amen. Sometimes, I’m relieved when my comments vanish. No big deal to me.
I have felt apologetic about sometimes posting the same comments over again and have also worried about whether I’ve been kicked out for being an asshole. All this must be a helluva task for Tamara, multiplied many times over, alongside dealing with advertisers. As a person who has anxiety about coping with any kind of bureaucracy, I’m sending my support and love.
OMG, I feel so good that I did not cross that line, for once.
Of course, I never think my comments are worth shit so that could be why!
Sending Good Vibrations to TT from sunny oops burning California.
Totally understandable and I’ve had total faith the kinks would get worked out. I realize my comments are not that earth shattering (although a couple of REALLY good ones got lost in the maze, although that is just my not so humble opinion 😉 ) Someday I would like to revisit Heather and her leeches. GAWD.
No worries. If I find myself in the WLS I will just make friends with the brandiloons and patiently wait until you come to rescue me. ?
I really hope everything gets resolved to your satisfaction quickly. It’s a shame that you’ve continually kept us updated of your frustration working through issues and have to right a separate post about it. Not good. Do something fun and get rest this weekend!!!!!!! I appreciate all your tea, humor, wit and snark.
Awwwww, we really do love you TT. I’ll even sit over here and lick my window patiently while my comment is in moderation. And fer Gawd sake, just ignore us all until you’re ready!!
No biggie..TT we can chill..anything worth waiting for is worth the wait..(is that the quote)…hugs bud
We love you TT, and appreciate all of your hard work. We will be good 🙂
Tamara, even network TV giant CBS can’t get their shit together so we can vote for BB17 AFP every day. Everyone needs to cut you some slack with your tech trouble.
Hang in there TT, i will drive the short bus for you! Love you to death. Your posts are too delish for us to bitch over some kinks and glitches. Forever a friend and fan.
It’s nice to know that you recognize that my comments are ‘unparalleled words of wisdom’. We all need a pat on the back from time to time. ;p
Those pups!! So stinking adorable!
Thx!!!!?
How does she get them to pose? Too cute
She’s like some kind of dog whisperer….. I need to take Banjo for a visit with her…
I absolutely love all of the dog posing pictures that you post.
Does the owner (dog whisperer) of these amazing dogs have instagram account that you can post so that I can see more of these amazing poses?
@angie @jen tyvvvvm. I do have a dog IG acct. same name as here.
I hope it all is resolved soon so you don’t have more continuing hassle on your plate. I wish you the best and will be praying for you in the meantime.
That said, the pic of the dogs is just adorable.
We’ve got your back, Tamara! And don’t forget: this too shall pass. ((hugs))
Dear Tamara, no worries, the wrinkles will be ironed out soon. So sorry you’re dealing with all this headache stuff! I’ve just poured a Gentleman Jack, shitty week(s) for all I reckon. Cheers and positive thoughts your way!!
Sending good vibes ✨
Sorry that it’s been so frustrating TT and I wiish I had tech experience so
I could help you out somehow. So I will spend my insomnia time giving you tons of clicks and I hope you know so many people here believe in you and really enjoy your blog. Hang in there.
I suggest pouring a drink or two or three and taking a break. We will all be here waiting no matter how long it takes for it all to be fixed.
Thanks for being so understanding you guys. I wish I could take a break, but if I can’t get the ads to work, I don’t have any income. Every day longer it takes is a crisis.
Hey TT!! Keep up the good work.
I have to say that I have had zero problems and was very happily surprised. I know that this means you have been working your ass off behind the Wizard’s curtain to make the move as smooth as possible.
The truth is that I wouldn’t have known that you were moving unless you had told us. This is the highest compliment I can give as I was terrified a move would ruin the site (you know, when website designers get all itchy to throw ALL of the bells and whistles into one site until the whole thing collapses).
In any case, the upshot is, from this humble reader’s perspective, everything has been very very smooth.
I agree, smooth transition for me too!
TT, hang on this will be over soon.
And OMG doggies!!! I want to give belly rubs and treats. So cute.
TT, I send my hopes that you get the ads worked out soon!! And I especially appreciate that you still make time for your entertaining posts — thank you! 🙂
OK, this will probably be the dumbest advice you ever receive, so feel free to just delete me, but don’t you have a nice young high school student that could either do the work for you or explain it to you so you could do it yourself? I am a 67 year old computer ninny whose fixing skills start & stop at rebooting BUT I have a brilliant 40 year old son & either he or his almost-as-brilliant friends can always figure it out for me & have been since they were in high school together. Having been a teacher, you must have loads of former students who would be delighted to help you. (I am thinking of someone who would do it for a glass of lemonade & some cookies.) However, in the interest of full disclosure, my last crisis when my mouse stopped working, turned out to be due to dead batteries, so I am sure you are on a much higher level.
Oh, no! This is how dumb I am! I didn’t mean to give you my real name. Now everyone in Los Angeles will know of my computer shame!
TT, is there anything we can do to help? Besides being patient.
Please feel free to email, or contact me on Twitter – I am serious. You don’t have to do this alone, if any of us can help please let us know.
P.S. It always puts a smIle on my face when you Fav or RT one of my TT tweets. Thank you.
P.S.S. thanks for the aka suggestion Riley.
Would Madonna change her name to AKA Madonna?
I don’t think so…. I am Urethra.
Dear Artist formally known as Urethra, now known as AKA Urethra.
We would like to inform you that a former BB17 houseguest has now adopted the name Urethra.
Word to your Mother. Really! Tell her Hi:)
Austin :*
I have no idea wtf this means.
I was kidding, Urethra. Sorry:(
No apologies necessary. I wasn’t clear on your comment. I thought you were serious about someone from BB17 using my name, and then you included Austin’s name. He is the urethra toucher from BB17.
My comment issue while soooo unimportant was worked out quickly. Thank you.
However, I am wondering if somebody forgot to unpack Teecee from her moving box. Is she lost?
First time commenting…. I enjoy the new website. It loads very quickly on my work computer where the prior website took awhile to load. I LOVE reading your blogs at work. Keep up the good work.
sorry this is such a clusterfuck of frustration. hope you get it sorted soon, for sanity’s sake!
