Congratulations! You have been to to Ship Full O' Pirates over 100 times! Just thought you'd like to know.
I have no idea why, but several weeks ago I deleted my Twitter account. What is wrong with me?
Let’s just let that question go unanswered, k?
Anyway, long story kinda short, I go thru my days thinking in tweets. I mean, Twitter is made for people like me. So, I had to set up a new account.
Easier said than done.
Twitter gets it’s nose all outta joint (or should I say, it’s beak?) when you have deleted your account and they won’t give it back, nor will they let you get a new account with the same old email addy.
Once ya get over the “use a different email, ya dolt” drama, then ya have to find a username that’s available, and do you think they’d let me have my old username, even though it’s just sittin’ there gathering dust? No ho ho!
But, I feel like I got one over on the old bird. My old username was MotherHen88. Can’t have it. So I tried all manner of combinations. Some using my real first name, using different numbers, blah blah blah, until finally I typed in MotherHen . . . and just waited, well, that’s taken. But then I had an real brain cramp and typed MotherHen88 and as I just said, Twitter is holding that for ransom. But the next bit was just purely due to my having a whole other brain cramp at just the right time. I tried to backspace outta the “forbidden” username and only got one of the eights off before being distracted by some child of mine wanting food or something, and Twitter coughed up an “available” next to my brand spankin’ new username MotherHen8.
So follow already!
I’ve put a Twitter widget in the sidebar. I don’t know. Is that a crow or a grackle? As noisy as grackles are I’m thinkin’ of it as a grackle.
By the way, not only is today my bloggiversary, it’s also Perry’s birthday. I don’t think he’s 40 yet so you don’t need to send a condolence card or anything, but ya might wanna head over to Life in a Shoe and read a syrupy poem Kim wrote for him. Really, I think she even mentioned syrup or coffee or something. :D
Happy Birthday, Perry!

It was a terrible bummer, but I did, in fact, persevere. I know I wrote it as though it all happened today, but, it took several attempts to get the deed done.
What an ordeal!!
I don’t know if I would’ve ended up getting another account.
