How to look foolish to most of your friends, family, acquaintances and total strangers, all AT ONE TIME:
- Go to your web site and see unfamiliar information.
- Panic! I said… PANIC!!!
- Someone must have stolen my web site for the deviously sinister intentions to overthrow the free world!
- Run scan on computer because my former web site is now probably infected with all kinds of internet cooties.
- Scan is clean.
- What if it really isn’t? I better notify everyone I think may ever, for whatever reason, go to www.suehecker.com. I don’t want them to get cooties too…
- E-mail doesn’t go through because I have too many addressees. Do it over as several smaller e-mails.
- Panic-email my son Dave who’s my computer guru. Twice.
- Wake up Hubster to tell him my web site is stolen.
- Search on line to learn about these evil thieves. Feel very, very depressed, just short of openly sobbing.
- My blog is gone. It’s really gone.
- E-mail Michelle over at Quilting Gallery to take the link off my name on this week’s quilt contest. Don’t want any new blog visitors to get cooties too.
- Michelle e-mails me back. She took the time to check my blog registry and saw it expired….yesterday!!!
- One e-mail chat, one phone call, and one credit card charge after that (took about 5 minutes) and…
- All fixed. Never mind.
Just think of what would happen if I overreacted to events like this!

Horray! Glad its back up. Sorry this caused such a headache!
Dave, I’m pretty sure I did this to myself. I think I got the domain name because they had my old-old e-mail address. I’m good for 10 years this time…and what are the odds I will have the same e-mail in 10 years???
Glad it all worked out OK for you!!!
Funny story, uh, as long as it ends this way! Good to see you are good to go for 10 more years!
