Felt Lousy Today -- But Did Get Some Work Done...

[charliemc]

I just felt LOUSY most of the day, today. Constantly trying to catch my breath and I had back pain and stomach pain and low blood sugar (plus a headache part of the day, too). I don't know what the problem is, but I need to get in to see my doctor, I guess. (Well, my nurse

Sorry you're not feeling well. Hope it clears up soon!

Our sword groups website once had a flood of spam mail that way. We had an online forum that someone hacked. So, we shut it down. A few days later our in box had more than 9000 emails in it. I assume they are connected, but couldn't say for 100% sure.
I ended up erasing the whole in box as I just didn't have the time to look through to see if there were any good emails in there. But, it all happened in one day and never happened again.
Hope your problem goes away in a similar way.

I can't believe I don't have a 'SPAM' icon. Seriously? Hahahahaha.

Thanks for the kind words, Frank. I am feeling better, thankfully.

The festival website gets a ton of hits annually (it's ranked very high -- which I'm proud of as webmaster). And I actually worked hard to make it spider like a son of a gun! That's part of the problem, of course!

But I used CAPTCHA as a solution. I'm not really a fan, but it stopped the problem IMMEDIATELY. I'm amazed how well it worked! We'd been having some issues for months, prior to it going crazy recently. Now it's quiet. (woo hoo) We don't get that much volume (especially this time of year), so it was weird to have all that email...

It was work wading through all those emails, I have to tell you. But Christine (the office manager at work) and I both came up with three real submissions -- the exact same names. Go, us!

You were short of breath? Get yourself checked out asap, Charlie. That's not something you want to let go for too long.
((hugs))

You won't believe it, Donna, but I actually poisoned myself with a supplement. I should blog about it at some point -- maybe when I'm feeling a little less stupid. (sigh

[pondhopper]

May I ask what the supplement is? We all make mistakes so don't be down on yourself. At least the effects will fade away. Take good care of yourself, Charlie.

Chromium Picolinate -- which CAN be awesome, by the way.

Yeah, mistakes happen, Donna, and heaven knows I make them! I just hate messing myself up this way... So silly.

I felt a lot better today, happily!

Thanks for the kind words and thoughts, Donna.

Hope you are both feeling better today!

What was your non SPAM work around?

Right now it's all IT/computer stuff, or website updates, Theresa. But I'm cooking with both! I have six Profiles to set up on various computers for new Staff members (who start the week after next).

And I've been doing website changes left and right. It's a record, actually!

Thanks for the kind words, by the way.

Meh it sucks to be sick. I really hope you feel better soon!

Thanks, Raven! My little worries are nothing, really...
