time {position: relative;}
TIME IS MOVING FASTER. My moms warned me about this.
I think at some point I’m going to call myself from one time zone and answer in another.
In the meantime, I promised I’d post when the DB probs were solved here at molly.com. Through the unflagging support of Chris J. Davis, I’ve managed to get up and running again.
The only bug I still find in the basic operation of the blog is that the comment textbox is obscenely wide. I’ll fix that in the morning, I promise.
Found any other oogies? Please report below.
And if you can explain why time is moving so quickly of late, I’d appreciate a note, too.

Please tell me I’m not the only one who leaves voicemail for himself.
I do appreciate the archived version of me. He’s very responsible and never forgets a task I must do. He can be a serious PITA come Saturday morning though.
Doesn’t he know that’s my day to rest?
Dave! That’s hysterical. I sometimes leave Voice Mails like that on my phone as a reference.
I’m sure it means I’m crazier than a coconut, but hey.
Time appears to move faster as we age. When you are a five year-old, a year is forever. Well, actually, it is one fifth of your total life experience so far, so it is a really long time. When you are 20, a year is one twentieth of your life, which is smaller, so it seems to go quicker. The older you get, the smaller the fraction becomes, so when you compare a day/week/month/year to your life, it seems to go by faster and faster.
It’s all relative.
Or something like that – my brain’s not working so well today…
If I can figure out a way to extract VMs from Verizon, I’d be happy to publish them.
It’s not so much the reminders I leave myself, but rather the affirmations I close with.
“Dave, deposit that check this weekend. Seriously.
Okay, you’re the best. Later.”
Molly, this is because the
&;lt;textarea>in comments.php is being styled incorrectly. There’s a width of 100% being defined somewhere; I can’t remember where. If you don’t have a comments.php in your current theme folder, then WordPress is pulling it from the default theme. Copy it fromwp-content/themes/default/into your current theme folder and make the necessary changes. That should fix the problem. It did for me.I send myself text messages all the time. And the one advantage that Lotus Notes has is that you can set it up so big events (anniversaries, birthdays, deadlines) cause an email to be sent to you reminding you how much trouble you’ll be in if you forget!
Molly, what’s the problem with a big textarea? Personally I think that the bigger they are, the better (within reason of course). I like to be able to re-read what I’ve written without having to mess with some tiny scrollbar.
Good to hear that your database troubles have been solved. As for the textarea, why don’t you add in one of those toggles for larger or smaller? I’ve got one on my site and it seems to work pretty well.
I had issues with your box before you got munged.
When Sage is open in a sidebar on Firefox, your box shoots out over your musties causing me all sorts of unreadables down your right hand side.
But I do have to agree that its looking a little bigger than usual.
Molly, I always styled it as:
#commentform #comment { width: 100%; }
well, according to relativity, the faster you’re moving, the slower time becomes. so if time has been speeding up lately, it probably means that you’re moving slower than normal.
arb, molly isn’t getting old at all! (wink)
