Well, you've read the notes, the notes were not hacked, and now it is time for you to post until the hacked cows come home.

Okay, we're back to normal.  Please alert the media that it is now safe to be here and everything should work fine.  Interestingly, the tech said this has indeed emanated from the host and their server and he said if they blame the software to find another host immediately.  I sent the host exactly what he wrote.  We also changed the password to the cpanel to something no one could figure out as long as they live.

Just got back in, BK, didn't see your email, but it looks like you didn't need the info.  Glad everything's back.

As I mentioned in my email, you should get in the habit of changing the password regularly, even if you think it's unhackable.  There are programs out there that can go through literally millions of password iterations very quickly, so you need to change stuff from time to time (not that I ever follow my own advice, LOL).

Yes, it does seem that we are back up.

It's 12:41 here in New York. I'm finishing work on Robert Wood Johnson and then I head to Long Island for the weekend.

Anthony has returned to New York after a 15 hour drive from Chicago to Manhattan. He's now on Long Island sleeping it off.

Could this have been done accidentally at the host site? 

Maybe I can stretch my imagination & understand why someone would want to test their hacking skills & challenge their abilities, but then why not challenge them farther & undo what was done.

Apparently, when the host did the software change they didn't protect us - they finally admitted that.  They have now, and they had a couple of questions for the software folks, which I've passed on, but we should be fine for now.  That said, I'm looking for a new host.

We're STILL on page one?  I must now be on my way to rehearsal, for which I will be ten minutes late.  But I'm jiggy with that.  Be sure to let everyone know we're okay again, and I hope I come back to ten lovely pages of postings upon my return.

Bruce is there anyway to find out who hacked the site?

Just a quick clarification, since some emails I've gotten seem to think I had a problem because I "logged out"--no, I didn't.  I am permanently logged in.  That said, I surf away from the site and then come back, still logged in.  When I left yesterday, all was fine.  When I used my bookmark to try to return (still logged in), Norton went ballistic.  :)

Thank you DR Ann.  It must be at least as beautiful where you are.  Can you carry your camera with you when you walk or is that too much with Toby in your arms?  I'm not sure I could handle both :)

If Toby is in the wrap, I can carry a camera, yes.  I wish I would have remembered it when I went walking in the sunshine the other day.  Next time I won't forget it.

Today I must do a lot of cleaning.  We have a good friend coming for dinner, and the house is a disaster right now.  I must clean the kitchen, finish the dishes, tidy the living-room, vacuum the upstairs, and clean the bathroom.  Then I must go buy some vanilla ice cream and make the apple crisp for dessert.  Hopefully Toby will let me get this stuff done.

When Bryan was a baby he didn't nap, or very rarely napped.  Eventually I discovered the young girls across the street were very handy.  I paid them to carry him around & entertain him while I did my work.  The girls loved it.

Another tip, when friends arrived I let them hold Bryan while I cooked.  Honestly, that baby didn't sleep much.

Good luck today & enjoy your evening.

I wish I had little girls across the street, that'd be great.  Toby is actually a pretty good napper, but he prefers to nap ON me.  It's just a trick of sliding his body into a bouncy seat or the crib before he realizes that he's not being held anymore.

There is nothing like a baby falling asleep in your arms.  Transferring said baby was always a challenge, at least with Bryan.  Craig slept through anything-thank goodness.

I would like to see us get to page 2.  I'm curious if the page numbers will then show up on the discussion page.  For now all I see is "NEW".

Then I suggest you avoid having twins.
