A Strange Tale

A Strange Tale

To be sure, here's another tale of sudden panic - incidentally, the title of a noir film, with Joan Crawford, in case anyone is into that - I am.

Well, what happened was that I couldn't sign in to Wealthy Affiliate. Over and over again, I tried - in vain! By that point, I was tearing my hair out, more or less. I even posted a message to Google. In Google Analytics, my site had DISAPPEARED!!! I couldn't get on either of my websites, and I believed that possibly there was a conspiracy afoot! (lol). My first thought was that Wealthy Affiliate had been hacked. Funny thing was, I could connect with my bookmarked websites. And someone else in my home was having a little trouble with the wi-fi. But I couldn't see what that had do with anything. I really panicked and emailed a few members to confirm or deny my suspicions - I want to apologize to those people, who might have believed my email was phishing, or something.

What was the cause of all of this was that my router wasn't working right, so I unplugged it and re-plugged it, and everything was fine.

As anybody who has read my blogs will know, I panic - a little too easily.

Well, that taught me a lesson, perhaps not to always imagine the worst has happened. It isn't usually the case.

Cheers, I'd appreciate comments, thanks.
